ABOUT PRODUCTID 1861
The "White head" ceramic sculpture was conceived in Sweden during the 1980s for Ikea, embodying the principles of Scandinavian minimalism. Crafted from matte, unglazed ceramic in a warm off-white with a subtle creamy undertone, the piece features a velvety, uniform texture. The head is placed on a square base made of light, honey-brown wood with a matte finish, creating a gentle material contrast. The form is highly simplified—geometric, with no eyes or ears, and only the nose and mouth subtly indicated to emphasize purity and disciplined lines. The proportions are elongated and oval, maintaining a harmonious balance between the ceramic head and its wooden base. The construction is precise, with smooth transitions and careful finishing. The condition is excellent, with no visible defects, chips, or signs of restoration. This object evokes the spirit of 1980s Scandinavia, when simplicity became a hallmark of modernity and purity of form achieved the status of a universal value. "White head" seems to softly narrate the Nordic affection for light and equilibrium—its abstracted visage, stripped of detail, invites contemplation and creates a sense of calm within a space. The matte white ceramic and gentle contours infuse the sculpture with a contemplative quality, merging artistic restraint with a quiet presence. The sculpture is well suited to interiors inspired by minimalism, Scandinavian modernism, or tranquil contemporary arrangements. It may be placed on a low console of pale wood, a simple sideboard, or against a neutral wall to allow the delicate interplay of ceramic and wood to take center stage. It also works well alongside other geometric forms or beside a single glass vase. Pairing it with soft-textured
