Riccio is a stunning combination of geometrical decoration and complexity of execution combined with linearity and rigor.
The decoration of this vase is a standard, classic pattern of the history of Alvino Bagni/Nuoveforme since the early seventies’ called Riccio. It was conceived by Alvino Bagni and after its development he also designed and made a special tooling to perform this decoration.
50 years after its creation Nuove Forme launch a new project that was conceived as a sort of contest with no winners or losers, where the designers were asked to re-interpretate the Riccio pattern with few restrictions and limitations to freedom of expression.
Architect, designer and stylist, Stefania Vasques collaborates with the best furniture and design magazines. She lives and works in Milan, and collaborates as a designer with L'abitare, Corrado Corradi, Diamantini and Domeniconi, Danese and Sambonet.
Vasques is part of a group of designers Officina Temporanea that together with Artigiani Officina self-produce limited edition pieces.
She believes that beauty is a resource for all and a value, and that the designer's task is to create beautiful and useful objects.
Ceramiche Bagni heavily relied on the work of family members. But over time, thanks to Bagni's artistic soul, which led him to take important orders throughout the 1950s and 60s, the growth of the company led him to change premises and surround himself with highly specialized artists, finding a perfect balance between materials, technique, functionality, aesthetics and experimentation, but never ceasing to actively participate in the creation of objects.
After a three-year interregnum, Alvino Bagni returns to work in 1993, opening his old premises as Nuoveforme, continuing to create new pieces until his retirement in 2001. Today, by the hand of Gianfranco Ghiretti and Alvino Bagni's granddaughter, Maria Chiara Ghiretti, Nuoveforme, as well as continuing to innovate, frequently consults its private archive of Bagni's designs for inspiration, producing entirely handmade ceramics for for major design companies and luxury brands across the world.
