Shiva Vase - Pink

Shiva Vase, designed by Ettore Sottsass for BD Barcelona, emerges as a tangible manifestation of Italian Radical Design, a courageous and rebellious movement of the 1970s.Designed during a love trip to Barcelona in 1971, Shiva embodies in its design the essence and vision of this bold period in design history. The result is an object that ingeniously defies convention in a modern interpretation of the phallic form of the linga, a symbol of the Indian deity Shiva, by which the designer was struck during one of his trips to India. This bold aesthetic is accentuated by the bright pink glaze of the ceramic that reveals the clean symmetry of the design. Originally designed to house flowers, it is thus transformed into an iconic design piece worthy of collecting and gifting to radical design enthusiasts. Shiva Vase is made of pink glazed ceramic.
