About the Item

Rib 16X Monolith Pitch Black Cornice Vessel by Lenny Stopp Dimensions: D 25 x H 100 cm Materials: Alpha crystalline gypsum (Hard plaster) Cornice is an evolving collection of vessels born from a deep exploration of the traditional craft of running cornice. For centuries, this technique has adorned interiors and exteriors with intricate plasterwork, carrying with it a legacy of ornamentation often perceived as antiquated. However, in reimagining this method, a compelling dialogue emerges between past and present. By honoring the historical essence of the craft while reshaping its purpose, these contemporary forms transcend mere decoration. The process involves crafting hollow molds and substituting traditional plaster with alpha crystalline gypsum, allowing these once-static embellishments to become functional objects. In this transformation, the technique is not only revived but redefined, shedding its association with obsolescence and finding new relevance in the modern world. Lenny Stopp’s design process is deeply rooted in a hands-on exploration of materials. He engages with each element intuitively, allowing the act of making to shape the outcome. By reinterpreting existing techniques—particularly in how he constructs molds—Lenny challenges conventional approaches to everyday objects, transforming them through continuous research and experimentation. At the start of each project, he deliberately leaves space for the unknown, letting the material’s inherent qualities guide the evolution of form and function. This openness invites a dialogue between process and outcome, where refinement emerges not from strict control but from a raw, unfiltered engagement with the medium. A central ambition in Lenny’s work is to navigate the balance between rawness and refinement. He considers how an object reaches a state of completion—both from his perspective and through the eyes of the viewer. The presence of the maker remains essential; traces of human touch imbue the final piece with character, grounding it in a personal and tactile reality. Lenny Stopp’s design practice is an exploration of instinct, materiality, and transformation. He takes a hands-on approach, letting materials guide the outcome rather than imposing rigid expectations. By repurposing techniques and reshaping conventional methods, Lenny creates objects that challenge perception and value. His work exists in a space of raw refinement, questioning the boundary between finished and unfinished. A trace of the human hand remains, embedding character and presence into each piece. These objects are more than functional or aesthetic—they carry emotion, a tactile memory of their making. Innovation arises from ignorance, from allowing the unknown to guide the hand. Lenny does not seek control, but collaboration with material. To shape the future, he believes we must embrace unpredictability and transformation. Lenny’s ideas manifest as emotions—he feels them before he defines them. Creation is not just about form but impact, shifting perception and disrupting norms. Through instinct, play, and introspection, he refines his work. We exist in a world of consumption, yet our choices have power. Objects and materials contribute to a greater narrative—a legacy of renewal. By reinterpreting materials, Lenny creates cycles of meaning beyond the present moment. To move forward, he posits that we must look back. We must desacralize convention, dismantle preconceptions, and reconstruct with curiosity. The anchor point is never fixed; it shifts with new perspectives. We turn, we face the strange, we transform. Light and darkness coexist in creation. Sometimes, to truly shine, one must first step into shadows. Lenny’s practice is a space between moments of creation, where instinct meets precision, and materiality becomes a vessel for human expression. He dares the viewer to shine—to embrace contradictions, imperfections, and the unknown. To create is to leave a trace, to shape a fragment of existence that carries the soul of its maker. This is Lenny's design. Witness his design.

Tall Black Dehydrated Form No 63, vessel by Artist Nicholas Arroyave-Portela

Tall Black Dehydrated Form No 63, vessel by Artist Nicholas Arroyave-Portela

By Nicholas Arroyave-Portela

Located in London, GB

'Tall Black Dehydrated Form No 63’ is a unique sculptural vessel by the British artist, Nicholas Arroyave-Portela. Nicholas Arroyave-Portela’s professional ceramic practice began in 1994. After 20 years based in London, he moved and set up his studio in Barcelona, Spain. Arroyave-Portela's creations are all thrown on the wheel using his own unique technique. Pulling up as much clay from the bottom mass as possible, the clay walls of each piece are created thin and even, maximising the artist’s ability to manipulate the form while the material is still soft and malleable. Additional porcelain slips are sometimes applied to create further surface textures and layering. After the first initial bisque firing (1080 degrees) glazes are applied by using various methods such as spraying and pouring, a process often repeated several times after each firing of 1260 degrees. The multi-firing process allows for the build-up of the glaze, creating a rich palette of tones and finishes. Arroyave-Portela's works can be found in various major museums and private collections worldwide including the Ashmolean Museum (Oxford UK...
