"Divine Decadence" is a bold exploration of opulence, sensuality, and playful provocation. Comprising an art de la table collection, including vases, vessels, and reversible bowls, these sculptural creations are crafted from marble, some adorned with stainless steel spikes and others left unembellished. Nestled within each spike, delicate handcrafted jasmine flowers in double silk organza bloom, symbolizing glory.

Each object features a detachable sculpted mother-of-pearl rod, designed to slide discreetly within the form. Together, they take the shape of a fruit “the fruit of sin” an ode to temptation. While exuding elegance and luxury, these rods conceal a daring twist, subtly mimicking intimate toys and seamlessly merging functionality with eroticism in an unapologetic celebration of desire.

The collection seeks to provoke thought and spark conversation, celebrating the harmonious fusion of art and fetishes. Rooted in the theme of enlightenment, it unveils the shadows of human longing and taboos, revealing what is often concealed and embracing a daring dialogue of personal expression, carrying a subtle nod to the forbidden.

Through "Divine Decadence," the contrast between the timeless purity of marble, the shimmering effect of mother-of-pearl, the aggressive presence of spikes, and the sensual fragility of jasmine invites viewers to experience a visual tension intertwined with tactile audacity. It encourages them to revel in the pleasure of the unexpected, find splendor in the unconventional, and embrace the divine within the decadent, guiding a celebration of the bold, the daring, and the enlightened.
