Zephyr is the west wind that accompanies explorers, that gentle breath that guided Ulysses towards the new. An invitation to let yourself be carried away by the Curiosity, a value at the basis of EGOUNDESIGN, which has always been driven by the exploration and research of new creative possibilities.
From this inspiration are born Zefiro e Zephyr, two vases that tell the dualism between home and travel, between the stability of everyday life and the impetus towards new opportunities.
Made in Biobased PLA through 3D printing and completed by a sail in heavy-weight paper (220 gsm), combine visual lightness and sculptural presence. The sail wraps around the vase thanks to an upper cut, evoking the movement of the wind with a gesture that is both aesthetic and functional, which guarantees stability and solidity.
The sail that envelops the stem The vase is not in fact born ready-made, but takes shape through a construction process: the user is guided in transforming a two-dimensional sheet into an object by making folds and cuts, following the graphic instructions provided.
The sail, before being composed, is also a blank canvas that can be personalized with drawings, signs and writings, allowing everyone to say something or tell their own story.
Design and mythology.
Mythological inspiration intertwines with design: the sail recalls the cloak of Zephyr who, in Greek mythology, embraces and marries Chloris, goddess of flowering. The scene is represented inher Birth of Venus by Botticelli.
This symbol of harmony and renewal is reinterpreted in the dialogue between the internal structure of the vase, protected and wrapped, and the delicate statuary of the external sail.
Tip! Insert a flower with a stem of at least 31cm.
