Following our addition of six new Sandra Davolio vessels, you can here see a group of three paired with an easy chair designed by Otto Schulz in the 1940s, an ’Annika’ table designed by Bruno Mathsson and a rug from the 1960s. Here is an excerpt from our interview with the celebrated Danish-Italian ceramic artist: Modernity: What is the relationship between the material (porcelain) you use and the final form of your vessels? Sandra Davolio: “Porcelain is among the most difficult materials to work with as a ceramicist. It is beautiful and fragile, but it has a truly temperamental nature. The entire process entails risks. At every stage, there are new possibilities of breakage, which might lead to my discarding g the entire piece if I am not satisfied with the final result. I appreciate the unpredictability of the process. Using an unyielding material to achieve my delicate pieces thrills me. In fact, it is precisely this somewhat contradictory aspect that defines my practice. I never know how many pieces will survive my own production process.” You can read the full interview on our website. Please visit www.modernity.se to view the pieces.
