Qura è una serie di vasi realizzati in argilla naturale o smaltata in Tunisia. La forma minimalista del vaso ne fa una sorta di pagina bianca su cui si possono applicare disegni, motivi e colori, rendendo unico ciascun pezzo della serie. Samy Rio studied cabinetmaking for four years before taking a five-year course at the National School of Industrial Creation (Ensci – Les Ateliers) in Paris. This dual training allows him to combine industrial and craft techniques, which he considers to be complementary and essential to each other. Graduated with distinction for his research on the use of bamboo tubes for industrial applications, he won the first prize of the Villa Noailles Design Parade 10 in 2015. Following this, he carried out residencies at CIRVA in Marseille, at City of Ceramics in Sèvres and at Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto. He also collaborates with the Galerie Kreo and Atelier Luma.
