Santiago Sahli — Gressus I

Gressus is a Latin word that refers to ‘the act of walking’, but also to progress and moving forward. And this collection of unique pieces stems precisely from a progression on the potter’s wheel – from how a simple form leads to an evolution of form, always viewed through the lens of functionality and the inevitable wear and tear characteristic of Santiago Sahli’s work.
