The aesthetic, artistic and manufacturing dimension of ceramics

Ranging between art and design, the works on display tell the aesthetic, artistic and manufacturing dimension of ceramics, enhancing the material of which they are composed, distorting its aesthetics and giving it new meanings to give shape to objects that become metaphors for a vision and a thought. A selection of works that, through combinations of patterns and signs, of vibrant colors and asymmetries, of decorations and sinuous shapes, draws the attention of the public, requiring their active participation.

A bold and irreverent spirit on display that escapes banality

Ceramics: Neverending Artworks presents authors who have challenged, with a bold and irreverent spirit, modernity and its diktats of formal cleanliness, of good design, of pure and exact functionalism, of white, black and chromed metal, featuring the ability to rewrite the rules, to create unique objects and escape the banality of everyday life.

A sensory exhibition at the sign in Memphis

The exhibition itinerary also crosses many protagonists of the Memphis movement, for whom life is also irony, aesthetics is also ethics and objects must be able to speak a language that knows how to privilege their emotional and sensorial dimension.

From new design needs arise technical challenges that lead to unimaginable possibilities

The constant search for beauty and uniqueness are the inspiring principles of Iris Ceramica Group which, just like the designers whose works it exhibits, enhances the aesthetic and technical properties of ceramics, reengineering it, without stopping at customs, knowing that it is from new design needs that technical challenges arise that lead to unprecedented possibilities, once not even imaginable.
