João, Maria and José are part of a collection of ceramic vases and lamps created by our curator Clarissa Schneider and developed by ceramist Alice Felzenszwalb. The handmade ceramic pieces, with different tones and sizes, bring marks of handcrafting and imperfections inherent to the artisanal process. Both João and Maria can also be transformed into lamps, whose cupolas are made of fibers extracted from the Buriti palm tree by a community in Piauí, led by artist Ingrid Clark.

"There is simplicity in these products: the cheerful summer colors, the Buriti fiber, the hand molded ceramics; all of these things make me look more delicately at the objects that are present in our daily lives", Clarissa Schneider
