Karajá Vase
Andre Lenza / Studio Andre Lenza · Goiania - Brazil
Category Winner 2021

Overview
The KARAJÁ vase, is a reference to the Karajá indigenous tribe that occupies the banks of the Araguaia River in Central Brazil, and is famous for the use of ceramics as an element of cultural expression. Studio André Lenza brings references in this collection to the state of Goiás and to indigenous culture, with pieces developed with aesthetic appeal and the natural beauty that ceramics have, but with light resistance to 100% recycled polyethylene, thru a social work by a cooperative of "catadores de lixo", informal garbage collectors, that bring descarted plastic bottles to the VASAP industry, in the suburbs of Goiania, a town with over 1.5million (population).
