FUNCTIONAL ART OBJECTS “Engaging with art every day inspires and enriches our lives. Bring artwork into your daily routine with handcrafted ceramics and sculptural furniture that blur the line between form and function.” Elena Pelosi has a strong passion about art, and her artistic work has been locally exhibited and included in private collections. She started using clay during her study in “Restoration of ceramic and glass” in Venice. Her studies and her passion for multimedia, painting, chemistry, and photography are the roots of her interdisciplinary approach to design and love of materials. She carries out personal research on design and arts by traveling all around the world, studying different cultures, and raw materials, and realizing projects for residences, furnishings, collections, and decorations rich with cross-references. Some years ago, she resumed her exploration of ceramic and its potential. She focuses on an alchemical knowledge of natural materials and their reactions, in relation to philosophical ideas on transformation and regeneration,. Thanks to a common passion for ceramics, a collab between a designer, Elena Pelosi, and a creative director, Luca Lanzoni, at the historical fornace Curti in Milan, leads to limited editions and events, in order to promote a modern approach to ceramic, among art, design and fashion. They called this project MADE IN FORNACE.
