Ettore's Echo rises as a slender, totemic column, its polished surfaces and playful hues composing a poised yet animated ascent. A tall lapis shaft anchors the work with architectural clarity, its flared foot lending subtle stability. Resting above, a shallow yellow cup introduces a bright chromatic shift, giving way to a compressed turquoise spiral that injects rhythmic movement into the vertical stack. A vivid chartreuse sphere acts as a pivotal fulcrum before the composition culminates in a tapered violet vessel, tipped decisively off-axis. The angled crown disrupts the column’s symmetry with deliberate imbalance, energizing the silhouette while preserving the sculpture’s elegant equilibrium.

 

Cedric Mitchell's approach to modern funk design is defined by bold colors, playful forms, and a dynamic blend of modernist and postmodernist influences. It challenges conventional aesthetic norms, prioritizing individuality and self-expression. Inspired by retro pop culture, this style embraces eccentricity and spontaneity, resulting in a visually striking and immersive experience that feels both nostalgic and futuristic.

 

Each piece is individually hand-blown in Los Angeles, resulting in subtle variations that highlight the artist’s process and the material’s fluid nature.
