THE ACCESSORY
‘ PRIMATE’ CERAMI CS BY BOSA
Milan-based artist and designer Elena Salmistraro’s brightly glazed ceramic vases and plates for Bosa depict different members of the ape family. Salmistraro was fascinated by the deep connection and similarities that exist between ourselves and primates – after all, we are only a few evolutionary steps away from one another – and with this collection, she cleverly captures that essence. The six designs all feature fantastic saturated colours and metallic glazes. Exhibit them on a shelf or mantlepiece as a reminder to monkey about more – you could even add one of the designer’s decorative plates featuring one of her playful original drawings for the series. From £97 for a plate; £835 for a vase ( bosatrade.com).
