21st Century Ceramic New Delhi Vase Hand Painted Glazed Faience, Italy

"Fornice" in the Italian dictionary of architecture represents the light passing through the arches. Just after graduating University of the Arts, Italian Spatial Designer Chiara Ravaioli gave light to her project, Fornice Objects, which explores the link between materials research and the use of latest modeling software applied to analogue printing techniques. She uses fast, repeatable and rigorous technology to make bold yet ethereal statements. Despite the fact that it is made using technological machinery, the human component is prevalent. In fact, each piece is made uniquely, slowly with machinery and hands, silently negotiating two contradictory elements such as porcelain and 3D printing. In the lightness of its forms, Fornice Objects designs search for a reference in today's world; it is thus transformed into the story that is explored and then returned to its most essential materials, which at times become soft, bend, colour and come alive.
