Description At first glance, the Mono: Vase Grigio Cemento appears simple, but its character emerges in the balance of its shape, texture, and muted colour. With a clean cylindrical silhouette, it becomes a thoughtful expression of Paola Paronetto’s distinctive approach to materials. Handcrafted from paper clay—a blend of traditional clay and paper pulp—the vase is finished in Grigio Cemento, a soft grey reminiscent of wet stone or raw concrete, grounding the form with quiet depth. The surface is lined with delicate vertical ridges, inspired by tree bark, that give it a natural and tactile feel. Though solid, Mono: Vase Grigio Cemento has a light, open presence, shaped by hand and marked with small irregularities that reflect the artist’s touch. Part of the Mono Collection—a group of simple, expressive vases designed with care and detail—this piece invites a relaxed approach to display, whether shown on its own or arranged with others. Each vase is unique, shaped by time, gesture, and the beauty of handcrafted work.
