Table top accessories suited for vanity or desk, Adobe Desk Tools in Terracotta have minimal details with confident design. The four pieces are multifunctional to organize and beautify any corner of the home. The stone bases are framed with a happily colored wire that hugs each tool into a perfect package. The terracotta used is an age old recipe of clay, silt, sand and plant fibers which has been a common building material throughout history. Italian designer Ilaria Innocenti describes her inspiration, “I found interesting to develop household objects with the same technique used to build houses, letting myself be guided by the various colors resulting from the different compositions of the ground in Italy.”
