Originally designed by architect, designer and artistic director Guido Andlovitz in 1936 for Società Ceramica Italiana Laveno, this pair of vases are indeed the rarest of finds. The vases were manufactured in 1942, as attested to by the marking "N - 42" on the base of each vase. The gold rims and aquatic scenes that surround each vase, are unique to each piece and were painted by hand in 1943. They are both signed by the artist "Miruccia". One of the vases has the words “Anni di Guerra” (Year of War) written on the base in reference to the Second World War . Founded in Laveno in 1856 by Severino Revelli and some former employees of the "Richard" manufacturer in Milan. The "SCI" (Italian Ceramic Society) began its activity as a manufacturer of wall tiles and fine tableware. In 1883 it became a limited company and obtained its first successes at numerous national exhibitions. In 1895, Cavalier Luciano Scotti took over the company and, thanks to his intuition and his entrepreneurial skills, the factory grew substantially in a few years. In those years, some Liberty-style pieces designed by Giorgio Spertini, the author of noteworthy elegant "whiplash" creations, were created in the Laveno factory. In 1906 "SCI" presented numerous works at the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Milan. Other collaborators from the beginning of the century were Silvio and Piero De Ambrosis, Felice Palucco, Giancarlo Jacopini and the brothers Marco and Luigi Raggiori. However, it was in 1923 that, under the direction of Guido Andlovitz, the company reached the peak of its fame and in 1925 was a resounding success at the 2nd Monza Biennale. Andlovitz, who collaborated with the manufacturer for almost forty years, applied to the production process the principle of seriality, a concept also put into effect by Giò Ponti at "Richard-Ginori", adopting various types of decoration which, although moulded and decal stamped, still retained an undeniable elegance. In 1924 the "Società Ceramica Revelli" became a consortium with the "SCI", the partnership would continue until 1932 and saw Franco Revelli's company marketing pottery and table porcelain on behalf of "SCI". From 1925 porcelain and crockery began to appear in the factory's catalogs. In 1927 the company was present at the 3rd Biennial of Decorative Arts in Monza. Between the end of the 1920's and the beginning of the 1930's, the decorators Giuseppe Bellorini and Daniela Ferretto began to collaborate with the "SCI". As of 1932 the company managed two factories: that of Laveno, which, with over 1300 employees, produced strong pottery, tableware and artistic ceramics and the smaller factory of Verbano, which employed about 400 people and produced, in addition to ceramics for the electrotechnical industry, excellent table porcelain. The products were marketed in the company owned stores in Rome, Genoa and Naples. This was an initiative realised by Andlovitz himself. In the mid-thirties, the decorators Ada Corsi and Ida Fonini among others, collaborated with the "SCI". From 1936 to 1940 the artistic direction of the company was entrusted to the sculptor and modeler Angelo Biancini. In 1939 about 1300 people worked in the Laveno plant and in 1951 about 2300. In the years between the two wars among the collaborators of the factory were Sirio Tofanari...

Installazione Policroma di Massimo Caiazzo, un'interpretazione contemporanea e sostenibile di Madre Natura, simbolo di delicatezza che accoglie generosamente tutti gli esseri. Un pezzo unico composto da una scultura stampata in 3D in filo PLA di acido polilattico, (un materiale ecosostenibile derivato dall'amido di mais eco-compostabile) e dipinta a mano collocata su una base in PVC sagomato. Completano l'installazione le riproduzioni di sei diagrammi originali dell'Archivio Mendini stampati su tessuto e montati su basi di metallo. Una straordinaria testimonianza dell'indimenticabile maestro Alessandro Mendini che racconta con poesia la nostra fragilità. Madre Natura è stata esposta al Fuori Salone di Milano nell'aprile 2023 presso la "Fabbrica del Vapore" Nell'ambito della manifestazione Design+Sensibile. Una figura femminile in contemplazione celebra la vita, la sua forza e la sua fragilità attraverso la bellezza di tutti i colori del mondo. Massimo Caiazzo (Napoli 1966) è un esperto di progettazione cromatica, che affianca all'esperienza accademica la progettazione “sensibile” della luce e del colore nei settori dell’architettura, del design, della moda e della comunicazione. Presidente di IACC Italia, sede di International Association of Colour Consultant, fondata nel 1957 a Hilversum e citata dalla Fondazione Munsell tra le quattro migliori scuole di colore del mondo. Docente a tempo indeterminato di Cromatologia presso l'Accademia di Verona dal 2003 al 2015, tiene corsi sul colore nella progettazione presso alla SPD (Scuola Politecnica di Design Milano), alla Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) e alla Domus Academy di Milano. La sua formazione sul colore è iniziata all'Atelier Mendini di Milano (1990-2006), dove ha fatto parte del team guidato dal designer e artista Alessandro Mendini, maestro della policromia. Allievo di Frank Mahnke e di Narciso Silvestrini, ha seguito i loro insegnamenti sulla natura interdisciplinare del colore e sull'importanza di condividerne la cultura per renderla una risorsa per la riabilitazione del nostro ambiente costruito. Nel 2021 è stato nominato testimonial del Design Italiano nel modo ed è stato scelto come oratore principale di Color Impact, all’Università di Yale, la più importante conferenza internazionale sul colore dedicata all’ambiente costruito. Ha pubblicato con Silvia Botti il best seller “Abitare i colori” per Vallardi Editore.
