The Palia Collection centers on the scalloped surface as an architectural condition rather than a decorative motif. Historically, scalloping appears across architecture as a method of softening mass through repetition — a way to break down scale, introduce rhythm, and allow light to register across an edge. In Palia, this language is distilled and reworked into a continuous, cylindrical form, where texture becomes the primary means of articulation.

Each piece in the collection is defined by evenly spaced vertical flutes that wrap the body in a measured cadence. The repetition produces a surface that feels both structured and pliable, shifting in character as it is approached, passed, or viewed obliquely. The scalloped profile introduces subtle variation along the perimeter, allowing the object to transition between solid volume and articulated surface without relying on applied detail.

Rather than referencing a specific historical source, Palia treats scalloping as a shared architectural memory — a pattern that carries familiarity through proportion and rhythm alone. The collection uses this memory as a foundation, translating it through contemporary production into objects that feel grounded, tactile, and quietly present. Across the series, the texture remains consistent while scale and application vary, reinforcing Palia as a cohesive system defined by surface continuity and edge condition.
