ESSENCE OF FORM
An Exclusive Mediterranean Collection created for Gallerie Philia
For this exclusive collection, created specifically for Galleries Philia, I sought to distill the essence of Mediterranean life—its colors, its textures, and its forms—into a series of vessels that evoke a sense of place and heritage. The vibrant hues of cobalt blue, ocean blue, ochre yellow, and meadow green are inspired by the sea, the sky, the sun, and the earth, elements that are central to the Mediterranean landscape.
This collection is more than just a series of objects; it is a tribute to my heritage and an invitation to experience the beauty of the Mediterranean in a new, tangible way.
The “Essence of Form” collection was born from a deep-rooted connection to Mediterranean traditions and a lifelong dedication to the art of ceramics. As an artist born in 1977, with ceramics running through my veins since childhood, I, Onofrio Acone, have always felt a strong bond with the craft. Living on the Amalfi Coast—a central paradise of the Mediterranean, where ceramics are not only an art form but also a tradition and a cultural heritage— has deeply influenced my work and vision.
Every vase in this collection is crafted entirely by hand, reflecting my commitment to traditional craftsmanship. This process ensures that each piece is not unique, but also carries with it the human touch—the imperfections and variations that give it character and soul. Essence of
Form is a celebration of simplicity and elegance, where modern design meets the timeless values of Mediterranean artistry.
The essence of the “Essence of Form” collection lies in the meticulous handcrafting of each vase, where every brushstroke tells a story. The pigments, applied directly onto the white engobe background, are rendered in bold yet organic gestures, evoking the vibrant spirit of the Mediterranean. Each color—whether the cobalt blue, ocean blue, ochre yellow, or meadow green—has been carefully chosen to capture the natural beauty of the sea, sky, earth, and foliage. The white engobe base, created with wide, sweeping strokes, provides a textured canvas that highlights the contrast and fluidity of the vibrant hues. Every vase is a unique, hand-painted work of art, embodying the artisanal tradition of Mediterranean ceramics and the personal touch that defines Onofrio Acone’s creations.
Born in Salerno on May 26, 1977, Onofrio Acone is an entrepreneur with a diverse career spanning multiple industries. Since 1997, he has been a key figure in the fields of design and interior furnishings, became a restaurateur in 2005, and in 2008, together with his closest friends, founded CINQUESEGNI, an innovative and forward-thinking winery.
Onofrio’s journey began in the world of ceramics, where he had the privilege of taking his first creative steps in the workshop founded by his parents in 1982. This humble space, nestled in the garage of their home in a small town in the province of Salerno, was where he grew up surrounded by the vibrant energy of a small artisanal lab. Immersed in this atmosphere, he developed a profound passion for ceramics—a material of endless potential—and cultivated his creativity from an early age.
Onofrio has never distanced himself from this art form. Although the family workshop eventually grew into a ceramic production company and later evolved into an industrial business, he has consistently remained connected to his roots. His enduring passion for craftsmanship drives him to create handmade sculptures, vases, and paintings, using only the most traditional and rudimentary techniques. Every piece is shaped entirely by hand, without the use of machinery, fostering a direct and deeply personal connection with the material.

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.
