Easter

EASTER is a new collection of ceramics by GUNIA Project, an interpretation of Easter aesthetics, a refreshing essence of a holiday atmosphere.

This time, the brand’s artistry is infused with abstractive and minimalistic motifs. The compositions become more airy and non-linear, still, preserving their inherent delicacy. An alternative stylistic perspective comes to life through the paintings on the plates, tea or coffee sets, and other ceramic objects comprising the collection. Lamb-shaped candle holders are reminiscent of the animalistic symbolism of Easter, and egg-shaped plates are dedicated to the symbol of life and rebirth. The color palette celebrates the awakening of nature which comes with spring.

The design is driven by the 20th-century wall paintings from Uman, as well as artworks by Evmen Pshechenko, and, most importantly, traditional ornamentations ofpysankyfrom the Polissia and Kharkiv regions. Usually, the ornamentation of pysanky follows a symmetrical rhythm, which reminds of the cycles of life and nature. The GUNIA Project ceramic objects are hand-painted in freely arranged compositions, with the craftsmen utilizing colorful glazes and gold. These paintings can inspire unique, modern ornamentations for pysanky. And the collection itself is meant to become a highlight of a festive table and a symbol of the warmest gatherings.
