Angulus in Calacatta Viola is a contemporary take on the classical form of vessels of antiquity. It has been hand painted in a faux Calacatta Viola marble finish. The name 'Angulus' refers to the latin word for angle, in reference to the right angled shape of the handles.

This vessel is thoughtfully handcrafted from recycled cardboard and paper, transforming everyday waste into an enduring sculptural artwork. From breaking down cardboard and paper into a pulp, mixing the pulp with binders, moulding form, sanding, and painting, this piece took about 12 hours to create. The faux calacatta viola paint finish was achieved by layering multiple layers of transparent paint washes to emulate the depth of real marble. This vessel reflects a commitment to slow sustainable design.
