Sculptural Nature-Inspired Ceramics

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vala Rae Launches a Beautiful Line That Elevates Aesthetics

— January 23, 2019 — Art & Design
This nature-inspired ceramics collection is intricate, highly imaginative and pleasant to look at. It is designed in collaboration between Emily Rae Counts and Jessie Rose Vala -- an American craftspeople duo that makes up studio Vala Rae.

From tiger-inspired candle holders to plant-patterned relief vases, the stunning nature-inspired ceramics are intended to serve an aesthetic purpose as decorative art objects, as well as a functional one. The duo put great thought into creating each piece. There is a certain surrealist quality present in the collection that immediately captures and retains attention. One of the recurring symbols in Vala Rae's offerings is the Evil Eye. While the palette is kept neutral and minimalist, it is surely the ceramics' shape, form, and symbology that are the most striking.
