“B-fora”, the B-side of an amphora.

​

A vase with feminine features, a combination of beauty, perfection and harmony of the statuesque body represented in Greek art, and the graceful silhouette of the contemporary female body. B-fora ironically shows what has been hidden for centuries beneath the amphora’s robes, revealing generously and without veil the B-side of the traditional A-mphora.

 

The creation of these original and unconventional pieces stems from the idea of redesigning the original contour lines that belong to the classic Greek amphora, creating a modern piece that fits perfectly into the contemporary vision. Unique pieces able to reconnect us with ourselves: B-fora is a vase that conveys feelings, a vase that urges us to act, a vase that wants to create connection, serenity and peace with your body. A vase that acts as a declaration of intent, a manifesto to freedom.

 

An iconic piece reinterpreted in a contemporary and ironic way, winner of the “A’ Design Award 2021”.

​

From 2019 to mid 2022, B-fora was produced in ceramic.

Since June 2022, it has instead been produced in resin and is available in two sizes and two handle options. 

The evolution of B-fora, apart from the handles and sizes, lies mainly in the material. 

From its birth in ceramic, B-fora germinates in an air of profound stillness and resin makes its way into the vessel's imagery. A new sensation runs through B-fora in resin. Harmonious, soft to the touch and impermeable by nature, B-fora has grown: it looks the same, but with a renewed light.

​

The B-fora collections are divided into two types: open editions and limited editions, both signed and certified.

Each piece is unique, made entirely in Italy with casting moulds and finished by hand.

 

B-fora is also made to order in custom sizes and finishes for special projects.

Requests are handled on an individual basis.
