Ia Kutateladze is a Georgian multidisciplinary Designer and Artist based in Berlin. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, she studied Interior and Product Design in Italy. Since 2016, she lives and works in Berlin. From 2019, has opened her own studio where different mediums of Design and Craft are merged together with experimentation, playfulness and fascination for diverse materials and intuitive creative processes. Her work centers around Interplay between shapes, materials, textures and their unrestricted intimate interaction between each other.
“ Playground For Salvation” was created entirely during the first quarantine of 2020, in the Artist Berlin studio. The stillness of the lockdown enabled Ia Kutateladze to experiment and push herself more, to challenge herself to create bigger, more intricate functional objects, lighting and furniture pieces from clay.
The collection is inspired by the microscopic images of molecules and cells. The exploration of the idea came after stumbling upon stunning microscopic image of the virus COVID-19. Realizing, that every living organism in the nature, even if it is a harmful one, could be beautiful. Going through massive amount of photos through research, the direction of the collection became clear. It is an exploration of a very intimate, personal battle of an Artist and a Human being in a surreal moment. An act of creation as a salvation and a victory.
