ENGOBE is a clay vase designed by Arina Antonova for Visionnaire in 2026.
Earth Series grows out of a close, physical engagement with raw materials and her experimental glazing practice. Locally dug earth alongside stones, minerals, sea sand, and organic ashes, Antonova works directly with the landscape, allowing these elements to enter the work as presence and matter. Each piece holds a memory of a place that unfolds through its material character. The surfaces are developed through a precise yet open process, where variation is essential, but always guided. The shapes come from Antonova’s ongoing research into the vessel as an archetypal form rooted in antiquity. They carry a sense of continuity that moves through time while remaining grounded in the present. Clay is approached as a body with its own logic and vocabulary, shaping vessels that hold traces of their origin with clarity and intention.
