Black & Gold Floor Vessel

The Black & Gold Floor Vessel is organised through repeated bands. Stripes, checks and star-like forms move around its rounded body, while the long ringed neck rises above them. The changes between pattern and shape give the eye several different details to follow.

Its hand-painted surface combines black and white with gold accents. The palette makes the graphic forms clear without requiring a large range of colours, while the rounded body and narrow neck bring a contrasting silhouette to the more angular marks in the decoration.

For a spacious home entrance, one idea is to give the vessel a plain background and keep nearby objects lower or simpler. A dark timber surface, a coloured wall or a restrained textile could provide a different pairing without repeating all of its patterns.

It could also become a focal point in a hotel reception or lounge. Consider an arrangement that leaves the floor vessel unobstructed, so visitors can see its full neck, body and lower outline rather than only the decorated middle section. Place it close to a wall, leaving the centre of the room open.
