Concept & Inspiration
Nike is the ancient Greek Goddess, personifying victory and strength. Her elegant wings represent beauty, dynamism, and triumph. Inspired by the 2nd-century BC masterpiece Nike of Samothrace, exhibited at the Louvre Museum, the goddess of victory is part of a truly original home collection where the precious classical heritage takes the form of unique handmade objects.
This modern ceramic bust captures that same dynamic spirit—a timeless symbol of triumph, grace, and movement—rendered with minimalist elegance and subtle color finishes.

The Winged Victory of Samothrace, also called the Nike of Samothrace, is a marble Hellenistic sculpture of Nike (the Greek goddess of victory) created about the 2nd century BC. Since 1884, it has been prominently displayed at the Louvre and is one of the most celebrated sculptures in the world. H.W. Janson described it as ‘the greatest masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture’.
The context of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, discovered in 1863, is controversial, with proposals ranging from the Battle of Salamis in 306 BC to the Battle of Actium in 31 BC as the event being celebrated. Datings based on stylistic evaluation have been equally variable, ranging across the same three centuries, but perhaps tending to an earlier date. For much of the 20th century, the prevailing theory, based on the works of Hermann Thiersch and Karl Lehmann, considered it a Rhodian monument dedicated following the victories at Side and Myonessos in 190 BC, and suggested that it might have been carved by the Rhodian sculptor Pythocritus.
This timeless Greek goddess sculpture is part of a truly original home collection in which the precious classical heritage takes the form of unique handmade objects. Art is combined with design, eternity with modernity, and the magic of timeless myths with the spirit of the 21st century.
