Mosca.Bianca
Mosca.Bianca combines the workshop function with an exhibition space. A laboratory that, through a single gesture, embodies the narrative of the ceramic crafting process.
The space is shaped like clay on a potter's wheel, with the central core becoming a plastic form generated through the twisting of the ceiling. The centripetal force of the design gesture places a table, seemingly monolithic, in alignment with the light that penetrates the stereotomic shape above. During use, it declares itself autonomous, in contrast to the space, as light tectonic furniture and showcasing its nature of interlocks and overlays, enabled by the layering of okoumé wood veneers.
The worktable occupies the centrality of the space and the narrative about the processing of terracotta; on it, the material takes form and is displayed, transforming the workshop into an exhibition space.
The materiality of the room, covered in raw earth, emphasizes the cyclical nature of ceramic life, in a perspective of continuous reuse and recovery. Not every function is explicitly declared; maintaining narrative coherence, as the metal shelves that store the workshop tools are concealed behind curtains, like in a stage set.
In Mosca.Bianca, ceramics tell their story—originally raw, then shaped, worked, and finally displayed through the walls, ceiling, and table, in a project with a unique yet strongly identifiable gesture.
