Dendri Clay Lamp by Ia Kutateladze

Unique Erythro Clay chair by Ia Kutateladze Unique piece Dimensions: W 38 x H 30 cm Materials: Raw Black Clay “Playground For Salvation” was created entirely during quarantine, in my Berlin studio. The stillness of the lockdown enabled me to experiment and challenge myself to create bigger, more intricate functional objects, lighting and furniture pieces from ceramics. The collection is inspired by the microscopic images of molecules and cells. Realizing, that every living organism in the nature, even if it is a harmful one, could be beautiful. It is an exploration of a very intimate, personal battle of an artist and a human being in a surreal moment. An act of creation as a salvation and a victory. Completely hand-built from black clay, with elements of paint. IAAI / Ia Kutateladze is a Georgian multidisciplinary designer based in Berlin. The production is done by her in the studio, where different mediums of design and craft are merged together with experimentation, playfulness and fascination for diverse materials. “To me, design is a palette of boundless imagination, intuitive approach, aesthetic sense and adventurousness expressed through forms. Design excellently transforms everyday life into joyful process of invention. My designs are playful objects of affection, which are results of slight and uncomplicated impressions, observations or interpretations.Sheer simplicity and attention to details, integrated with profound understanding of the surroundings, the past and the future, are at the core of my designs.I would like my designs to be more than functional objects, to have the power to magically interact with people.”
