Milan-based designer Paolo Dell'Elce presents BASIS—a considered collection of handmade earthenware that celebrates the enduring influence of Mediterranean tradition. With accreditations from both Italy’s Polytechnic University of Milan and Norway's Oslo School of Architecture and Design, the award-winning designer is renowned for his vast portfolio of works that saturates clear-cut forms with an organic sensuality. The studio’s bespoke collection of glazed earthenware is inspired by ancestral atavistic ceramics and was hand-thrown and fired by ceramists in Italy and Portugal using only the finest locally sourced clay. Drawing upon the exquisite craftsmanship of the antiquities, BASIS offers contemporary vessels with a timeless elegance.
