The Origin of Vision
Materia 01 is not just a lamp, it is the progenitor work that began Officina del Recupero's artistic research. It is the first chapter of a narrative that explores the boundary between the primordial element and contemporary design.
The Soul of the Work
Entirely hand-modelled in my workshop in Agliana, Materia 01 celebrates absolute contrast. The purity of the white clay, deliberately left raw to enhance its porosity and natural imperfections, dialogues with a slender structure in brushed gold. When turned on, the light does not just illuminate, but passes through the ripples of the material, revealing details, shadows and veins that make this piece an ever-changing visual experience.
Technical and artisanal details
Stylistic Cipher: The "raw" as a signature. The surface is untreated to preserve the tactile authenticity of the earth.
Uniqueness: Being a piece modeled by hand without moulds, Materia 01 is a unique and unrepeatable work.
Materials: Ceramic-fired white clay, brushed gold base and stem, textile cable.
A piece of contemporary history
Choosing Materia 01 means owning the genesis of the collection. A furnishing accessory designed for those who seek the authenticity of the handmade and want to bring home not just an object, but a "trace of themselves" imprinted in the earth.
