VELA is a handmade sculptural piece by JOIA, crafted with natural wood, cotton cords, and layered wooden beads in warm, organic tones. Two carved wooden fish form the base of the tassel, symbolizing flow, protection, abundance, and life, while reinforcing the nautical spirit suggested by the piece’s name.
The composition evokes sails, currents, and movement, as if guided by wind and water. Intertwined strands, varied bead textures, and natural fibers create a tactile, rhythmic surface that feels both grounded and fluid.
Designed as a decorative art object, VELA can be styled on coffee tables, console tables, shelves, or curated surfaces, bringing texture, symbolism, and a quiet storytelling presence to interior spaces.
