Memphis style ceramic vase "Totem" by Florio Keramia 1990s

Crafted by the esteemed Florio Keramia, this Memphis style ceramic vase named Totem is a true embodiment of postmodern artistry. Its abstract design is complemented by a red hue and a glossy finish, creating a piece that is both a visual delight and a testament to the artisanship of the era. The vase stands at an impressive 38.5 cm in height, with a width of 21 cm and a depth of 7 cm, making it a substantial and eye-catching addition to any collection or interior space. Memphis was a cultural movement born in Milan around Ettore Sottsass and Sottsass Associati, combining young architects, artists, and designers in the 1980s. Luciano Florio Paccagnella, an important member of the group, was inspired by Yantra vases of Sottsass and Bauhaus colours and lines when creating his series of unique, handmade and hand-painted totem vases.
