    Shaped by the natural asymmetry of marine life, this silver-plated form captures the quiet complexity of the ocean floor. Its ridged surface, tactile and luminous, reflects a sculptural fidelity to nature—neither ornamental nor merely functional, but contemplative.

    Positioned delicately on three small feet, the object holds space: for salt, for memory, for pause. It gestures toward the intimacy of domestic rituals and the longing to bring the sea indoors—not as décor, but as a subtle form of correspondence between environment and interiority.

    Within the context of From the Sea, it speaks to the way design mediates our relationship with the natural world: preserving gestures of fragility, repetition, and transformation. A single shell, reframed as artifact.
