About Living Form

Hi, I'm Rafaella.

I make small-batch hand-cast concrete vessels in a studio in Limassol, Cyprus. Each piece is mixed by hand, cast into a mould I built, and demoulded after two days. Then it cures for two weeks before it leaves the studio.

I started Living Form because I wanted to make objects that hold their place in a room without trying to. Concrete is a quiet material. It deepens with use, gathers a soft patina over the years, and goes on strengthening long after it leaves the studio.

Nothing on this site is mass-produced. Nothing is a stock photo. The piece you order is the piece I cast and demould before I bring it to your door in Limassol.
