Cyan Dragonfly in natural brass

“The Flight of the Dragonfly” is a representation of a personal observation, in faience, glazed according to the traditional manual immersion techniques.

This purely decorative piece is ennobled by a body in natural or oxidized brass, hand-cast in a sand mold. The unique combination of these two materials recreates a symbol of balance and elegance.

The pieces are handmade and may show slight variations.

The corrugated cardboard box is wrapped with a paper strap that contains the illustration and synopsis of the short story "The Flight of the Dragonfly". It is a tale of tenderness and affection, where valuable knowledge is shared between generations. Translated into English and Portuguese. 

Laboratório d’Estórias is an experimental design space that aims to use popular Portuguese folk tales in a reinvention of traditional objects.
