Shiva Vase - Capsule Blue Limited Edition

Shiva Vase, designed by Ettore Sottsass for BD Barcelona, emerges as a tangible manifestation of Italian Radical Design, a courageous and rebellious movement of the 1970s. In this version, it presents a limited edition in collaboration with Capsule Global magazine.


Designed during a love trip to Barcelona in 1971, Shiva embodies in its design the essence and vision of this bold period in design history. The result is an object that ingeniously defies convention in a modern interpretation of the phallic form of the linga, a symbol of the Indian deity Shiva, by which the designer was struck during one of his trips to India. In honor of this bold aesthetic, Capsule Global partnered with BD to create this special edition of the Shiva vase. The distinctive bright glaze in Blue reveals the clean symmetry of the design, adding a touch of vibrant color that confronts the vase's recognizable and cherished form. With a limited run of only 999 pieces, The Capsule Global x BD Shiva represents not only a unique piece of collectible design, but is also a sincere and refined tribute to the experimental and innovative vision of Ettore Sottsass and the movement he inspired.


Shiva Vase is made of glazed ceramic.

Designed by Ettore Sottsass

Ettore Sottsass Jr was born in Innsbruck in 1917 by a homonymous father and an Austrian mother. In 1939 he graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Torino. Architect, designer and photographer, Sottsass were among the most influential figures of radical design. In 1957 he became Art Director for the brand Poltronova, creating some of their iconic pieces such as the Ultrafragola mirror. In 1981 he founded the Memphis group, an Italian design and architecture collective distinguished by the use of bright colours and eccentric geometrical figures.

Produced by BD Barcelona Design

Since its origins in the 1970’s, BD Barcelona Design has always cultivated beauty in its artisanal processes instead of mass production. The new products always have more proximity to art than industrial design. Characterised by superior quality, short-series productions (and on occasion limited editions), and unique pieces due to crafted manufacturing. In the 80’s, BD pleasantly surprised by editing Gaudí’s furniture for his famous buildings and in the early 90’s, BD again astounded by introducing an exclusive first collection of furniture and lamps designed by Dalí. Recently the Collections and Designers with an accentuated artistic profile like Jaime Hayon and Doshi Levien, continue to point the way where design and art meet together. Find out more on Mohd.
