Sofia Karnukaeva's Organic Ceramic Vessels at Collectible Design Fair
Sofia Karnukaeva, an architect and ceramic artist from Barcelona, crafts tactile vessel-sculptures that delve into transformation through organic, zoomorphic designs reminiscent of nests, beehives, caves, and human forms. She is an alumna of the Moscow Institute of Architecture (MARKHI) and Joseph Backstein ICA Moscow, where she learned to convert abstract ideas into sensory experiences. Her work, particularly “Mirror 01.01 ‘Route’” (D 40 x W 15 x H 40 cm), showcases her commitment to ecological principles. Karnukaeva's creations have been displayed at the Collectible Design Fair in Brussels (2025) alongside NM Gallery and at Dart Haus.
