VITRICCHESS
Zen — six ceramic pieces in a row

Zen

Stillness, set in a twist.Collection 06 · In Development · Edition to come

The idea

Zen looks for stillness in motion: each piece is a monolith, turned once around its own axis. The twist replaces all ornament.

What remains are planes that let the light wander slowly.

The six pieces

King

The tallest monolith. One twist, parted at the top.

Queen

Folded like paper, still as stone.

Bishop

A flame in stone.

Knight

The head bows. Nothing more is needed.

Rook

Squat, twisted, immovable.

Pawn

The garden stone. Lined up, a bed of gravel.
