Necessary not so much because we all need to turn into potters and throwers, as because it is a pleasure every so often to come across a fine piece of handiwork—especially in these digital times. The Dutch designer Siba Sahabi has made Between Two Rivers, a collection of ten vessels formed from strips of felt wound on a potter’s wheel and painted on both sides to create contrasts of color. The effect is that of clay pots and pitchers like the ones they used to make thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia, the region from which the collection takes its name – on display from today until April 14 in the spaces of Tuttobene (Via Tortona 31).
