Our designs at Uniqwa are always crafted with soulful intention and purpose in mind.
Perfectly imperfect, we embrace the beauty of nature; with her powerful presence on earth, she has inspired the beautiful shape of our Kamali Vase.
A timeless addition to any interior space, the Kamali Vase is a distinctive ceramic sculpture designed in-house by Andrea van Heerden and brought to life by Porsche Victoria, our Maker.
The Kamali Vases are statement pieces that pair beautifully with an arrangement of fresh or dried flowers or as sculptures in their own right. Designed as a set of three, they can also work as a pair or single statement piece.
With a focus on individuality, shape, and form, each hand-thrown vase is made from White Raku clay, which undertakes a unique process to create organic formations and folds.
After being thrown and spun into perfect circular vases, Porsche applies pressure to the sides in strategic places to initiate the organic shaping. Then, she artfully taps the vases to encourage the weight of the wet clay to fold in strategic places, which enhances the organic features.
From there, the vessel is immersed in a white stoneware slip and high-fired with a custom-made double-layered winter white glaze finish, all of which contribute to its elegant, sophisticated feel.
