Elegant and tactile, the Seletti Magna Graecia Onda terracotta vase translates classical rhythms into a contemporary object. Designed by Antonio Aricò for Seletti, this terracotta vase with matching saucer belongs to the vases family and works as both a functional vessel and a sculptural presence. Available in multiple sizes and in terracotta or blue, it suits indoor and sheltered outdoor settings.

Form inspired by coastline and craft

The Onda’s undulating rim and generous belly evoke Mediterranean shorelines: waves paused in clay. The silhouette balances movement and calm, anchoring a table without overwhelming it. The design reframes ancient amphora and bowl traditions into a compact, contemporary scale, offering both artefact and usable vase. Part of the Magna Graecia project, it bridges classical reference with modern home compositions.

Handmade terracotta with honest texture

Hand finished in terracotta or blue, each Onda carries subtle surface variations: tiny pores, soft striations and the tactile warmth of clay. The saucer catches drips and protects surfaces, allowing multiple sizes to be grouped or displayed individually. Designed by Antonio Aricò x Seletti, it reflects design-forward Seletti decor sensibilities.

Scaled for versatility

With diameters from compact to generous, the vase suits floral compositions: short stems, branches or compact bouquets, yet sits comfortably on consoles, dining tables or low shelves. The wide mouth encourages natural arrangements rather than staged bouquets, making it perfect for modern home compositions.

Styling and pairing ideas

Use a single Magna Graecia vase as a centrepiece or pair with taper candles and small bowls. Combine Ondas of different sizes or finishes for a layered vignette. Outdoors, place on stone or terrace tables where terracotta or blue complements wood and woven seating, creating a rhythmic, sculptural cluster. The Seletti Magna Graecia Onda adds texture and personality to tables, functions as a hardworking vase, and with multiple sizes and colour options, brings Mediterranean materiality into everyday life.
