Eve Bowl – / Handles In The Shape Of Hands – Jonathan Adler

From the Muse collection by Jonathan Adler, these surrealist vases are decorated with handles in the shape of hands. Sculptural and atypical, the vases by Jonathan Adler have the peculiarity of bringing out in relief, poetically and surreally, parts of the body (face, nipples, etc.) borrowed from these idealised women whom our greatest artists took as their muses. Ceramicist, designer and internationally renowned interior designer, Jonathan Adler first became passionate about terracotta and exhibited his first pottery collection at Barneys in New York in 1993. “Earth is the basis of my work and will always be” affirms Jonathan Adler. For each ceramic piece from the collection, a prototype is made by hand in Jonathan Adler’s workshop located in the achingly hip SoHo neighbourhood of New York.
