Raul Frollà designed a pair of monolith-like, molded stoneware vases for Incipit which were inspired by the massive, human stone statues on Easter Island, hence their name MOAI.

Available in a tall and short version and in two colors, dove or grey, the rounded vases also reference the objects that might be used in everyday life in ancient times. While most of the body is curved, the design flattens out on both sides.
