Learn more about this product

Antonio Aricò's "Magna Graecia" collection revisits Greek relics from southern Italy in a playful and contemporary way, using terracotta as the material of choice. The designer, who has traveled around the world, is steeped in Mediterranean culture and decided to return to Calabria, his native region, where Greek culture is very present and omnipresent in architecture and art objects.

With "Magna Graecia", Aricò managed to reflect an imagination more Mediterranean than Calabrian by referencing the Great Greece of Antiquity, the Roman emperors, Sicilian traditions and many others. To create this collection, he accumulated numerous drawings which he then transcribed in volume with 3D software, before replicating them identically in terracotta.

The pieces in this collection feature designs inspired by Doric and Ionic columns, waves, as well as erotic motifs familiar from ancient vases. Among the key pieces of the collection, we find numerous busts and statues inspired by the "Bronzes of Riace", statues of warriors dating from the 5th century BC, as well as female figures mixing men and women in a characteristic gender fluidity. of Greek culture.
