ARCHA is a tall, tapering sculptural vessel built from a continuous sequence of soft, wave-like horizontal ridges that spiral gently upward, narrowing toward a small open mouth. The rhythm is deliberate and architectural — each ridge stacking evenly upon the last, like the growth rings of a tree or the layered strata of sedimentary rock.

The name ARCHA evokes both an ark and an archive — a vessel that seems to hold and record time within its layered structure, each ridge a quiet record of the hand that shaped it. Its surface carries warm, weathered beige and taupe tones, with a fine, textured grain running across each ridge, reinforcing the impression of wood or stone worn soft by time rather than sharply cut.

Each piece is meticulously built by hand from a unique, sustainable composite of recycled paper pulp, natural cement, mineral pigments, and binders. Once fully dried and finished, the material behaves more like aged wood than cold stone — robust, surprisingly lightweight, slightly elastic, and highly resistant to splitting. The irregularities of the surface are an integral part of the work. Variations in texture, colour and form are preserved rather than concealed, making every piece individually distinctive.
