╳ The Bizarre collection was showcased in the Sisley store in Chiado and featured a collection of ceramics, especially created by Sam Baron for Sisley, where he re-invented one of the best Portuguese traditions through a contemporary vision of their old "savoir-faire".
╳ The collection pieced together a futuristic assemblage of souvenirs inherited from the past, and merged details of a long tradition of nature-inspired shapes with classic vases and tableware pieces. Consisting of 5 limited edition objects, Bizarre comprised vases and tableware in classic shapes with industrial-production ceramic figurines used as three-dimensional decorative details. A way of ‘populating’ our homes with strange, hybrid creatures: from a vase which hosts a family of swans or with indiscreet rabbit ears that create floral motifs, to the plate that seems to have a fish swimming in it, or the salt and pepper set where a bee has settled gently; all these ceramics were made by hand and produced by Olfaire, in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal.╳ Bizarre? We think not. Totally appropriate!
