Ceramic Art

Artists and designers worked for the historic brand on six different collections, discovering the potentialities of the ceramic material. #MDW2016

CEDIT Ceramiche d’Italia has represented a hub for creative genius and industry for a whole generation of artists and designers, with exceptional results. The brand has been a unique reference point of its kind, proposing entirely new solutions for decoration and colour-rendering in interior architecture, developed thanks to the collaboration with some of the major exponents of art and design of the twentieth century.

Ceramic Art — CEDIT Ceramiche d’Italia, Franco Guerzoni

The iconic collections bear the signatures of outstanding figures such as Marco Zanuso, Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Sergio Asti, Emilio Scanavino, Mimmo Rotella and Gino Marotta – originators of a really high-level creative standard – who have been supported by valuable creations of individual ceramic furnishing accessories designed by masters such as Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, by the Gruppo Dam and, again, by Ettore Sottsass.

It’s a trip among fabrics, symbols, erosions, materials and memories recounted through the vision and the creativity of six Italian artists and designers: Marco Casamonti (Archea Associati), Barbara Brondi e Marco Rainò (BRH+), Giorgio Griffa, Franco Guerzoni, Matteo Nunziati, Giorgia Zanellato e Daniele Bortotto (Studio Zanellato Bortotto).
