Description

“Pose” is not only a decorative sculpture, but it is also a low-tech hand warmer crafted from stoneware. If you place small candles underneath the dome, the flames will gently warm the material, allowing it to absorb and diffuse heat. By placing your hands around it, “Pose” releases a soft, lasting warmth, sustained by the clay’s natural insulating properties.
Its matte, textured surface recalls the feeling of a sun-warmed stone—absorbing heat throughout the day and releasing it slowly as the air cools.

“Pose” is designed and made in France.

“Pose” is made by hand which means there are no two of a kind. You can choose your preferred stoneware color though a variety of choice and chamotte type, ranging from small grain to thick.
