Fornace Brioni spotlights earthenware with the new Grounded exhibition that highlights new wall and floor coverings. It is designed by Cristina Celestino and Snøhetta and guests are taken on a terracotta tour. This is curated by Cristina Celestino Studio. The approach is similar to a museum experience as the material journey goes through a range of vignettes that capture the feeling of home.
There are three collections that were showcased at the exhibition including the Void range by Snøhetta. It boasts minimal designs with hand-pressed terracotta which highlight the soft structures and imperfect accents. The rich texture is detailed with a playful narrative between light and shadow along the surface. The structural element supports the strength of the designs.
