About the Item

Basilico is one of the teapots from the "The Indian Memory" collection designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1987 and now re-edited by Alessio Sarri. All the pieces in the collection are signed, numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. About When in the mid-eighties, Ettore Sottsass met Alessio Sarri - a young ceramist from Sesto Fiorentino - he decided to put it to the test by asking him to translate one of his designs from the 1970s into ceramics. The Indian Memory was born from that meeting: six teapots and two fruit bowls with dusty and opaque colors and profiles containing the echo of Indian temples. These ceramics are the point starting point of an experimentation of forms at the limit of technical possibilities, uncertain between architecture, sculpture and landscape. Today, Alessio Sarri takes over the production of The Indian Memory and thanks to thirty years of experience as a master ceramist, he is preparing to face new stories and new challenges: “Ceramic is a beautiful metaphor. After all it's just dust: dust with infinite possibilities”.
