Between two rivers by Siba Sahabi
Ancient Greek History does inspire creators throughout the world. The same happens with the designer Siba Sahabi and her latest project Between Two Rivers, a translation of the Greek word Mesopotamia used to refer to the region where the rivers Tigris and Euphrates flow. Mesopotamia is the birthplace of turntable (Ur, 3500 B.C.) that aided potters to design circular objects more accurately and faster. The invention was introduced in Greeks around 2000 B.C. and thus sparked a new style of Greek ceramics called Minyan pottery which Siba has reinterpreted in her collection consisting of ten sculptural felt vessels.

With this project the artist tries to make a connection between her roots (of German/ Iranian origin) with pottery innovation and Western ceramics culture which developed through these new technologies. Siba Sahabi has also created the Kerameikos collection consisting of a series of vessels made by paper.
