Description

Mantos V is part of YANKATU’s Mantos collection, made using the ceramic technique of the Jequitinhonha Valley, considered intangible heritage of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The vases reinterpret the movement of the saints’ cloaks that adorn historic churches built during the Rococo period in Brazil. They are made by artisan Deuzani and daughters Gil and Marcilene, revisiting a tradition from a contemporary perspective.

Designer Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros spent time in the valley exploring the materials and origins of this traditional Brazilian craft, listening to its stories and learning the artisans’ way of living. The inspiration for this vase came from that immersion and from time spent in the historic town of Tiradentes, working with a craftsman specialized in sacred art.

All the handmade details are unique: molded by hand and colored with natural pigments collected in the Jequitinhonha Valley.

All Yankatu pieces are numbered and come with a small book telling the inspiration behind the piece, with blank pages left so that its story can be continued by whoever acquires it and passed on from generation to generation. The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

The objects that appear in the pictures are not part of the Mantos Vase.

Customization is available on request.

About YANKATU Visit Showroom →

With a degree in business administration and interior design, Maria Fernanda has worked in the field for over 20 years. She migrated to furniture design in 2014, creating Yankatu, a design studio through which she carries out projects with social impact alongside Brazilian artisans. The encounter with the art world happened naturally in 2020 when the search for the appreciation of Brazilian artisans and their knowledge generates a growing discomfort regarding invisibility and lack of knowledge about the reality of Brazilian cultural traditions. Her work is based on relationships that go beyond the gaze and are established on mutual trust and admiration. Her production spans a long timelessness and also a continuity, resulting from the privilege and fluidity of the otherness of established relationships. It is in the power of art that she finds the way to share her learning, activate the gaze and listening of others, seeking to generate in them the same discomfort she feels and, in this way, encourage them to act. It is through a relational aesthetic that she aims to join forces because the reaction of the other, the spectator, is essential for the realization of her art, which does not end with the created object but rather expands into the immaterial and impalpable field. Her works involves various materials without settling on anyone, despite her familiarity with solid wood. It goes from clay to feathers with the same lightness that conveys strong messages in a poetic way.
