Description

“I Gusci” is a collection of thin and organic bowls designed for everyday life, inspired by an imaginary fossil nature where each element is part of an oneiric, but domestic landscape.

Each piece is handmade using a slab building technique and the edges are delicately engraved with a small cutter.

After the first fire (980 degrees), each piece’s edge is painted by hand with pigments or oxides. It is thanks to the second fire that they develop their own character; at 1280 degrees, by the reducing of volume, the porcelain forms move through the space. The bisque finish outside and the crystalline glaze inside give a contemporary flavour to this collection.

In my work, I always indulge the anarchist spirit of porcelain allowing it to deform plastically, so as to lose the initial geometry and obtain unique forms.

About biancodichina Visit Showroom →

Alice Reina is a designer and porcelain artist holding a degree in Architecture from Turin Polytechnic University. Porcelain entered her life in 2015, thanks to a short but life changing workshop. Shortly after she founded BIANCODIOCHINA: a contemporary porcelain studio working at the boundaries between design, craftsmanship and art. / Hers research investigates the theme of fragility, its multiple aspects and the way in which its perception modifies our daily gestures. Her work is inspired by two continuous flows: on one hand, the intelligence of plants and their harmonious and resilient behaviour; on the other hand, literature, which gifts me with words and concepts that I then turn them into form and matter. / Hers creations include both functional porcelain in limited series and one-of-a kind pieces.
