At the 61st edition of Salone del Mobile, Atelier Vierkant presents the Amphora Collection. Rooted in the Persian and Mesopotamian eras, with echoes of ancient Greek and Roman vessels, we present new interpretations of the amphora, a type of container with a pointed base and a distinctive shape and size that fit snugly together—and are therefore very secure in storage spaces and packages. Amphorae were used in large numbers for transporting and storing various products, both liquid and dry, but mainly wine.
Chief designers Annette Lantsoght and Stéphanie Busard both worked on developing the shapes. They came up with several variations of the TAJ shapes, both as a tall column vessel and as a low bowl. In addition, the KTL, KRK, and GZL are expressions of amphorae with ancient contours.
The collection Atelier Vierkant Planters shows which vessels by Atelier Vierkant we carry; more about the manufactory can be found on our Atelier Vierkant brand page.
