About the Item
CF KH 16 by Caturegli Formica.
Dimensions: W 10 x D 7.5 H 29 cm.
Materials: Concrete, plaster, paint, glass, cotton.
Khalikia (?a????a) vessels, 2017-18.
These pieces are made by assembling many small pieces of dusty rubble.
We already live in our rubble and sooner or later all the things we do will become ruins.
In the midst of the ruins, there is always someone who does not stop, does not give up, who has energy and who continues to go on and eventually to tire his fate. Someone who uses rubble.
For these brave builders and rebuilders, rubble is a consumer good. That's right, it is a wealth, a building material to use.
Carl Andrè answered a policeman who asked him by what right he took the remains on the street: these things have no value for the society that threw them away and therefore no longer belong to anyone!
Biographical notes
Beppe Caturegli (1957) and Giovannella Formica (1957-2019) shared a background in the cultural atmosphere of the Radical Architecture movement in Florence. After taking architecture degrees in 1982, they moved to Milan to begin a long, intense working relationship with Ettore Sottsass, the Memphis group and the magazine Terrazzo.
In 1987 they opened the Caturegli Formica Architetti Associati studio and for ten years they worked as consultants for Computer Associates, a US-based software firm, for which they designed facilities in Milan and Rome. Alongside work on architecture and interiors, they have designed products for many different Italian and international companies, including Sanyo, WMF and Fontana Arte.
Their curiosity and passion for architecture around the world has led to frequent trips to the United States and Japan, and then regular travels in India and several African countries, where they have conducted research in collaboration with local architects, artists and artisans. The aim is to enrich the meaning of products, projects and works of architecture, using mixed systems: industrial/crafts, global/local, mass-produced/one-off.
In the period 1987-1991 they created Terre, a ceramics series produced in the workshop Céramiques Almadies, and collaborated with the design group 100% Dakar, honoured by the President-poet Léopold Senghor for their work on racial integration.
From 1989 to 1993 they worked on the restoration and extension of a vast estate in Madras (Chennai), and made a series of symbolic stone objects in collaboration with the sculptors of Mahabalipuram.
Their work is very heterogeneous, ranging from residential and commercial architecture to restoration, interiors to furniture, lamps and flatware, paintings and ceramics to video.
Since the early 1980s they have designed carpets, seen both as useful objects and as maps of knowledge. Most of the carpets are part of site specific works for private clients. This is a way of working on the applied arts that goes almost against the current, in a period in which industrial design moves toward global standardization and uniformity.
In 1989 they participated, together with the Memphis group, in the exhibition Carpets at the Design Gallery, and created a collection of carpets and tapestries for Elio Palmisano in Turkey and Italy. Later, they have also worked in Iran, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kashmir and Tibet, collaborating with craftsmen and selecting small companies that use purification systems for water used in colouring, and apply procedures for the safety and well-being of workers.
Since 2004, Nilufar Gallery has shown the Caturegli Formica carpets collections .
In 2007, for the exhibition Onehundred, they presented Super-market, a collection of cabinets called Photo-boxes and characterized by images reproduced on the doors that show the geography of global consumption and document real places and objects of the planet.
In 2010 they presented a series of twenty photo-montages and eight collections of rugs for their exhibition Nodi/Hubs, a kind of reflection on certain macro-knots of occidental thinking: the environment and consumption of the territory, genetics and GMOs, catastrophes, chaos theory, archival storage and the mind, the chemical essence of life.
One aspect of their research, honoured with international prizes and publications, is the structural use of colour and light in architecture. More recently, they have put great commitment and research into an energetic use of light, in the context of bio-architecture projects with objectives of heightened sustainability.
In 2004-2014 they carried on the project of restoration and revitalization of a vast historic property in Tuscany, where they have applied advanced solutions for energy supply and savings, through the use of a range of integrated alternative energy sources. The Tenuta dello Scompiglio estate includes a theatre, rehearsal rooms for musicians, an art gallery, a restaurant, residences for artists and many hectares for biodynamic agriculture.
In 2014-2017 they designed several spaces devoted to host art collections and produced seven new rugs collections, embroideries, furnitures, vessels, photomontages and concept books.
Their works have been showed at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Centre Pompidou Paris, Mino Ceramic Art Museum Japan, Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC, Triennale di Milano...

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.

L Vase Designed by Virginia Frieyro for The Table Project, Spain, 2024
Located in Madrid, ES
This unique piece is part of The Table Project, a collaborative initiative developed in Spain in 2024. Originally designed by Isidro Blasco, the work has been reinterpreted by Virginia Frieyro, a visual artist whose practice lies at the intersection of expanded painting, installation, and spatial intervention. Her work stems from a formal investigation of color and gesture, often connected to architecture and bodily movement.
In this intervention, Frieyro transforms the surface of the vase into an immersive pictorial support, applying glazes, stains, and chromatic gestures in a vibrant palette of pinks, blues, greens, and purples. The rhythmic and gestural composition resembles an abstract cartography, where color is layered and interwoven to create a sense of depth and motion. The result is a piece that transcends functionality, existing somewhere between sculpture and three-dimensional painting.
About Virginia Frieyro
Virginia Frieyro explores abstraction, color, and repetition, weaving vibrant compositions across surfaces. In her ceramic works, color becomes a kind of fabric or structure, inviting an emotional experience. She seeks to connect with the most intimate and sensitive aspects of perception—believing that it is in that precise moment where art truly happens.
About The Table Project
The Table Project is an initiative by artist Isidro Blasco. From his studio in the Carabanchel neighborhood of Madrid, a series of projects have been developed with the goal of creating distinctive artistic objects and fostering collaboration among local artists.
Since 2019, The Table Project has promoted creative encounters grounded in Spain’s rich artisanal traditions, reimagined through a contemporary lens. The initiative has become a space where multidisciplinary artists come together to produce handcrafted works within the context of contemporary art.
