Terry Balle Studio

United States, 1980-1989

This striking Post Modern resin vase by Terry Balle is a sculptural masterpiece that challenges traditional design norms. Cast in a translucent seafoam green hue, its asymmetrical form and soft, organic edges create an almost fluid appearance. The semi-matte finish and substantial weight give it a commanding presence, while its unique, carved interior adds depth and intrigue. Designed in the 1980s, this vase is a bold representation of Post Modern aesthetics, where form and material take center stage.

Fun Historical Fact: Terry Balle is renowned for his experimental approach to resin, a material that became increasingly popular among artists and designers in the 1970s and 1980s. The Post Modern movement, which peaked in the 1980s, embraced bold colors, unconventional forms, and playful reinterpretations of classic design principles—making pieces like this a reflection of the era’s artistic rebellion.

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.

Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.

New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.

Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps — the marks that prove the piece lived.
