The Ostrica is a shell that became a vase, or a vase that became a shell  the distinction is part of its meaning. In the Natura Naturante collection, Studio Bojola takes the original moulds of a three-generation Tuscan ceramics workshop and reimagines them: the pieces are redesigned, cut, and reassembled into new forms that preserve the original artistic legacy while being entirely new objects.
The Ostrica's form references the scallop shell  its ribbed fan structure turned into a ceramic vessel that sits on a small pedestal and opens upward like something found on a seafloor. Its presence is simultaneously ancient and contemporary.
Available in Var. Profondo (a deep, matte navy patinated by hand, with dark depth that reads differently under every light) and Var. Burro (an ivory-cream matte finish, warm and pale, like unglazed porcelain or old bone).
