Wall Reliefs

By shaping clay into living sculptures, the boundary between function and art dissolves.

Rooted in memory and material exploration, they inhabit the space quietly, inviting both daily life and contemplation.

Sculptural side table

Limited Edition of 2 (plus the prototype)


 

This sculptural ceramic side table is made from a custom clay body. Inspired by the granite and volcanic rocks that shape Hong Kong’s landscape, its curved forms echo erosion softened by time, while sharp edges recall raw fractures of stone.

Sculptural vessel

This art piece is conceived as a deliberate exploration of the intersections between cultural identity, architecture, design, and art. It seeks out the points of tension and dialogue where these disciplines meet, overlap, and transform one another.

 

The work draws inspiration from two distinct yet resonant sources. The first is the Art Deco architectural style that shaped many of Hong Kong’s landmark buildings during the 1930s to 1950s, geometric elegance, rhythmic symmetry, and ornamental detail.

 

The second source of inspiration lies in the aesthetics of traditional Chinese lanterns, with their delicacy, translucency, and ritual presence.

 

By weaving these two influences together, the piece achieves a sinuous aesthetic and a soft, tactile texture. The curves evoke the fluidity of light and fabric, while the surface invites touch, blurring the line between functional design and sculptural presence. In this synthesis, the work becomes both architectural and intimate, an object that reflects the layered cultural identity of Hong Kong, where East and West, tradition and modernity, coexist and continuously redefine each other.

Sculptural side table - Limited Edition of 8 (plus the prototype)

This sculptural ceramic side table takes its inspiration from the Art Deco architecture of Hong Kong’s 1930s–50s buildings and the refined aesthetics of traditional Chinese lanterns. The result is a piece that bridges architectural strength with an air of lightness, translating structural motifs into fluid ceramic form.

 

The work is finished with a custom moss-green glaze created to evoke both Hong Kong and the olive trees of Liguria, the artist’s native region. The choice of green carries multiple layers of meaning. It recalls the mountainous slopes that embrace Hong Kong’s urban fabric, as well as the stone terraces of Italy where olive trees have been cultivated for centuries. At the same time, it alludes to the distinctive military green that became part of Hong Kong’s visual identity in the aftermath of the Second World War. In this way, the glaze creates a bridge between two places, Hong Kong and the artist’s roots.

Cretto

 

Cretto is inspired by the Cretto di Gibellina and the concrete streetscape created by the artist Alberto Burri.

 

Saline (salt fields) are an emblematic part of the Sicilian landscape.
