Description

Pose N°7 Black is a handmade stoneware sculpture by Marie-Marie Defour, made in black matte stoneware with a black, fine-grain chamotte and designed with cut-outs between the ovals.

Pose is more than a decorative sculpture: it is also a low-tech hand warmer. Small candles placed beneath the dome gently warm the stoneware, which absorbs the heat and diffuses it. Wrap your hands around the piece and it gives back a soft, lasting warmth, sustained by the natural insulating properties of the clay.

Its matte, textured surface recalls a stone warmed by the sun, taking in heat through the day and releasing it slowly as the air cools.

As a handmade piece, this Pose shows a few imperfections.

Pose is designed and made in France by Marie-Marie Defour. Each piece is made by hand, so no two are alike. The stoneware color and the type of chamotte, from fine to thick grain, can be chosen from a range of options.

Customization is available on request.
