NodoThat’s item is the result of Bottega Intreccio Lab experimentation as atelier research which is grounded within in the territory, with its different arts and crafts competences. Bottega Intreccio relies on the experience of local craft workshops and on synergies with neighboring production districts. The firm acts as a catalyst of knowledge and experimentation for new weavers, but also for combinations of different materials and processes.“A solid form that, thanks to the juxtaposition of ceramic and wicker becomes lighter and more open towards the top. Two traditional materials that compensate for each other, interpenetrating and becoming contemporary.”A series of wicker vases, woven to wrap the white ceramic base and to create a rhythm of solids and voids.
