The Oxymoron Light Blue Vase, designed by Patricia Urquiola, is part of the Oxymoron collection, a series of ceramic objects that pay homage to nature and the transformative passage of time through contemporary design.
Handcrafted in Italy by skilled artisans, each vase evokes the smoothing action of water and wind on rock and earth, translating natural erosion into a tactile and sculptural ceramic surface. Marks and textures reminiscent of time’s passage are contrasted with a brightly enameled finish, creating a dialogue between raw materiality and refined color.
Each piece features a distinctive dual finish: one half is coated in glossy glaze, while the other reveals a textured surface crossed by gently carved cavities. The result is a contemporary vase with a time-worn character, where organic imperfection meets refined craftsmanship.
Rendered in a soft light blue tone, this version brings freshness and calm to interior spaces while maintaining a strong sculptural presence. As with natural formations, no two vases are identical, making every piece unique.
Available in four colors, green, light blue, pink, and light yellow, the Oxymoron vases celebrate nature, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty shaped by time.
