COLOURED MEMORY
Pigmented ochres, moody maroons, and deep vibrant dark shades explored in a combination of glossy finishes and reactive glazes that invite the revival of the past.
A balance between opposing forces, between tension and ease, between past and future. Today’s citizen is either living in excitement about tomorrow’s brave new world, either anxious and fearful about the unknown future , willing to go back to those old sweet days in grandma’s house .
This dynamic is influencing our lives and is being brought indoors, with the creation of interiors where past and future merge together. Texture, shape, but mainly colour plays a key role in these living spaces where the antique becomes modern, where retro is reinvented and where classic is renovated, leaving us in between.
Pigmented ochres, moody maroons, and deep vibrant dark shades explored in a combination of glossy finishes and reactive glazes that invite the revival of the past.
'Eclectic' and the brand new line 'Capsule' decorated in a masculine palette of deep blues, rejuvenated with a sophisticated metallic accent.
Simple shapes and a deep pallet of green colors clumsy applied - the lines "Sidney" and "Craft" are perfect to match with plants in naturally illuminated interiors, inviting the creation of a contemplative atmosphere, free from the modern days' excesses.
From blue ash to navy blue, to solid black. 'Doha' boxes and 'Refresh' vases are perfectly decorated to fit dark wood tones surfaces, that are getting increasingly popular at home.
Pigmented ochres and bright yellows explored in a wide range of reactive and oxide glazes. The ideal recipe to bring light and brightness into the so trendy aged-look interiors.
Here, traditional hues are transported to the future through a handful of matte finishes, opaque colour combos, and soft gradients. Simple and subtle effects that by evoking plasticity offer a touch of contemporaneity to any interior.
As the modern days' family paradigm, the new line 'Family' presents a mix-match of different pieces, all inspired by renowned mid-century design. Geometric shapes defined by its function, some straight lines and nice soft curves brought into the modern world with the use of trendy apricot, pink and terracotta matte glazes.
Pale colors used in opaque finishes to bring indoors an idea of plastic superficiality that moves away from the deep traditional palette of colors.
Departing from the common idea of a capsule, the new line with the same name - 'Capsule' - is an attempt to answer a shared aspiration of refuge and escape, promoting a sensation of disconnection from the overstimulating society.
Product lines designed within this duality of past versus future.
