Panta Rei Vases

Panta Rei marbled ceramic vase with a leafy branch and a brass disc, against a green wall.
Panta Rei marbled ceramic vases with brass bases, made from recovered clays, on a concrete floor against a green wall.

WHERE: Milan
MATERIAL: Recycled stoneware and brass

Panta Rei – everything flows – is a series of vases in stoneware from reclaimed clays, with mirrors and brushed brass, designed by Elena Pelosi for Made in Fornace®.

The project starts from what is discarded. A crystalline finish reveals the colours held in the ceramic body: greens, white veins, hazelnut, ochre and Siena tones produced by the oxides in the earth. What was waste becomes form, between nature and artifice.

Each piece is unique, in matte, gloss or mixed finish, with a certificate stating its date and the clays used.
