Brushed Nickel & Copper Collection
Nickel vase, 'Copacabana'
Ruby Yallouz takes her inspiration from the loveliest places in Rio de Janeiro for this design series. The elegant vase suggests a sailboat at sea, at the same time taking the shape of the mountains that ring the beach.
Copper vase, 'Pineapple'
Shaped by hand from a single piece of copper, this beautiful vase takes the shape of a pineapple. Olimpia and Pepe create it with the time-honored techniques she learned from her parents and grandparents. Because each piece is individually hand-crafted, size may vary slightly.
Nickel vase, 'Parallel Rectangle'
Ruby Yallouz creates a void between parallel sheets of nickel in the crafting of this vase. The resulting piece stands proud like a geometric jewel. Showing the allure of industrial aesthetic design, this piece attests to the designer's penchant for modern elegance.
Copper vase, 'Classic'
This classic vase is crafted from a single piece of copper and is shaped by hand. Hammering the metal, Olimpia and Pepe achieve ovals in relief, creating a masterpiece of Mexican art. Because each piece is individually hand-crafted, size may vary slightly.
Nickel vase, 'Foliage' (small)
Turning slowly with consummate grace, a sheet of polished nickel twirls itself into a leaf. Ruby Yallouz draws on her experience in architectural design to create this dramatic vase. Her minimalist work is as much a sculpture as it is a container.
Nickel vase, 'Sugarloaf Mountain'
Rising in elongated curves, burnished sheets of nickel evoke Sugarloaf, the landmark mountain in Rio de Janeiro. Ruby Yallouz creates a bold vase to represent her homeland.
Nickel vase, 'Coffee Bean'
Ruby Yallouz twists and fuses metal to create a vase of enigmatic elegance. Yallouz found inspiration in the characteristic shape of a coffee bean, which distinguishes the vase's shape and hole.
Nickel vase, 'Urca Hill'
Evoking the Morro da Urca, burnished sheets of nickel form a curving cone. Ruby Yallouz takes her inspiration from the loveliest spots of Rio de Janeiro for this design series. Named for the landmark hill, this elegant vase exudes Brazilian chic.
Copper vase, 'Butterfly Sanctuary'
Fluttering on brilliant wings, monarch butterflies make the long migration from Canada to Mexico, where they spend the winter in the oyamel, or fir forests of Michoac�n. Hundreds of thousands cluster on every branch, filling the silent forest with the whisper of wings.
