Spiked Paper Clay Sculpture: Biomorphic Brutalist Centerpiece, Organic Textured Contemporary Vessel
$1,050.56 $1,616.24
A spiked paper clay sculpture shaped as a biomorphic brutalist centerpiece, where organic form meets eruptive force.
This organic textured contemporary vessel is built like a quiet explosion — a sphere pressed, eroded, and fractured until it reveals its inner mineral fire.
Hand-formed from recycled paper clay, "Ignis Orbis" holds the tension of growth beneath the crust: energy rising in silence, breaking through as jagged protrusions and cratered formations.
Its surface blends ash-white layers with flashes of oxidized copper and electric turquoise, recalling volcanic rock, marine fossils, and ancient mineral blooms.
This is not a gentle vessel — it is a charged presence.
A form that holds space rather than fills it.
Not object, not ornament — something between altar and artifact, existing for attention, not utility.
Part of the Spina Terra collection, Ignis Orbis embodies the raw poetics of matter: where erosion becomes ornament, and sculpture becomes stillness shaped by force.
A striking centerpiece for contemporary interiors, collector shelves, or sculptural installations.
Materials & Texture
Created from recycled paper clay, natural clay, acrylic pigments, oxidized copper tones, turquoise accents, and matte seal.
The surface is rough, mineral, tactile — marked by ridges, spikes, erosion, and layered crust.
Matte finish preserves the rawness of the texture.
Dimensions & Uses
Height: 29 cm
Width: 27 cm
Depth: 22 cm
Freestanding sculptural orb.
Perfect for pedestals, consoles, sideboards, or entryway displays — as a centerpiece or standalone art object.

Frequently Asked Questions
Care instructions
The blanket has self-cleaning properties, meaning the wool structure repels dirt. However, it's recommended to air it out in fresh air once a month. If stains appear, it's sufficient to treat them with appropriate means or seek professional dry cleaning.
In case of urgent need, you can manually wash a specific area (remove the stain) in warm (15-20 degrees Celsius) water, hand squeeze, lay flat, and reshape it properly. Afterward, leave it for some time until completely dry.
Care instructions
