Caltagirone /A Storage Unit in Matt Black Lacquer with Hand-Enameled Stone Fronts by Ferruccio Laviani for NOT.Ordinary

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

Qal'at al Ghiran, "Fortress of the Vases" in Arabic, is the ancient place-name from which Caltagirone derives, a name that proves how the ceramics tradition here is rooted and remote in time; and ceramics, a protean material of great fascination since the dawn of time, becomes a source of inspiration for one of the Not.O. projects.
The family of Caltagirone containers takes possession of this millenary craftsmanship, distancing it from the usual decoration and directing it towards the Italian artistic culture, more material, expressionist and less decorative, with a workmanship that recalls some works by Lucio Fontana or Fausto Melotti.

The Caltagirone sideboard comes to life from the aggregation of simple volumes embellished with individually hand-modeled ceramic tiles, fixed on every single opening: the front is completely decorated.
The structure in lacquered wood is divided internally into compartments and drawers that allow you to use the sideboard indiscriminately in the living or sleeping area.
An important object, a unique presence, a piece of furniture that approaches the world of contemporary art while remaining anchored to one of the most rooted craft traditions of the Sicilian territory.

Family of containers with matt lacquered MDF structure, front openings with fronts in Etna lava stone tiles decorated and glazed by hand.
