2006 GIOPEIRO BASKETBALL

Limited Edition GIO PEIRO Basketball

Created by GIO PEIRO as part of his ongoing exploration of objects as emotional artefacts.

The game of basketball was invented in 1891 as a way to allow the body to play indoors, in a controlled space, when the outside world was too harsh. Over time, it became a global language of movement, rhythm, and desire.
This basketball was created not for professional competition, but as a symbolic object designed to be held, passed, touched, and contemplated. Produced in limited quantities, it was conceived as a hybrid between a functional sports item and a collectible art piece — made for those who see sport not as performance, but as an intimate choreography between body and time.
Each piece carries a unique combination of surface designs, making every ball slightly different — like fingerprints in motion.

Originally released in 2026, this object belongs to the ongoing GIO PEIRO universe.
