Signature Objects is a collection of limited and numbered edition objects, designed and released by Studio Pastina. Eachcobject in the series is born to give form to an idea we wanted to see in the world. Matter, form, function. Nothing more, nothing less. NUBA is the first object in the series.

Tangerine glazed ceramic. A compact and multifunctional body, candle holder, incense burner, desk object. Immediate form, silent presence. The strong, saturated color is balanced by the compact scale: a complement that does not compete with the space around it, but finds its own equilibrium in relation to what surrounds it and who uses it.

As in the tradition of classical architectural grammar, everything stems from a single generative principle: an extruded decagonal section that, as it unfolds, simultaneously produces the chimney and the base. Two distinct elements, one formal logic. The classical does not dwell only in the past, but continuously regenerates itself in the forms and colors of the contemporary. The same section that supports is the one that rises. No fracture, no added decoration except the studio’s logo: only the purity of a gesture that completes itself entirely within itself.

From sketch to physical presence. Limited series of 50 pieces, numbered and signed.
