In the end, the format that IDE took encouraged us to listen to our deepest instincts, leading to a series of objects that will remain as they were left: ‘straight from the oven’, unpolished and honest.
Marta Bakowski
The Know-How of certain ancient materials found in Puglia, as well as the singular history of every corner of this region, provides a direct link between this particular culture and the rest of the world. In Puglia, the relationship between the ancient and the contemporary is inevitably present in every studio, whether a small atelier or a large enterprise, because the seductiveness of this region resides – to a great degree – in this very relationship between the symbolic power of the ancient and the comfort and relevance of the contemporary.
Pierangelo Caramia
From the earliest times, human beings have developed activities around sustaining themselves through nourishment, and developing the objects that make this possible. The hunting cultures made hand axes from stone to kill animals. Later with gathering and the evolution of agriculture, food cultivation became a communal activity with vessels and objects made from baking the earth for serving and storage. ‘CERAMIC & FOOD’ have been a very old couple through all of human history, and this continues into our current world.
