Description

From the 1st to the 21st of March 2024, Riccardo Cenedella spent some days in residency at Domain the Boisbuchet in Lessac (FR) as part of the Nouvelle Grand Tour sponsored by the Institut Culturel Italien de Paris.

During this time Cenedella experimented with waste and local materials and processes that he had never experimented with before. The result is a collection of vases made with different materials.

The objects invite the observer to reflect upon themes such as functionality, necessity and value. As a result of this analysis, Cenedella came to the conclusion that sustainability, even if it reduces the amount of energy embodied in it, has to do with the production of objects. So to be a responsible designer, design can’t be understood just as an object of study but also as an object of cultural value.

This object is made with local material so variations in the colour of the concrete and stones are to be expected.

About Riccardo Cenedella Visit Showroom →

Cenedella's work is inspired by a fascination with materials experimentation, exploring how contemporary society's waste can be transformed into functional objects. He developed this design method while studying MA Material Futures at Central Saint Martins in London. In this period, he started taking a low-tech approach to design, influenced by the theories of the French philosopher Claude Levi-Strauss about the "bricoleur" described in one of his most important works (The Savage Mind, 1962).Riccardo Cenedella lives and works in Turin. He works with both private and public clients. His pieces have been exhibited at Collectible in Bruxelles, SWING Design Gallery in Benevento, EDIT Napoli, the London Design Festival, the Milan Design Week, the Affordable Art Fair London, and the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. In addition to working as an independent designer, he is a university professor at IAAD in Turin (Institute of Applied Art and Design) where he teaches Product Life Cycle Assessment.
