Product description
Magna Graecia Collection
The "Magna Graecia" collection of terracotta objects, designed by Antonio Aricò, is a reinterpretation of Greek relics from Southern Italy in a cartoon style. Shaped by Mediterranean culture, Antonio Aicò worked all over the world before returning to Calabria, where he grew up. Greek culture is very present in this region, which is teeming with statues and artifacts. In some villages, a derivative of Greek is still spoken, more than 2500 years after the occupation...
With "Magna Graecia," Antonio Aricò interprets this Greek heritage using terracotta, all in a playful and contemporary spirit. "Magna Graecia" reflects an imaginary world that is more Mediterranean than Calabrian. It refers to the Great Greece of antiquity, but also to the Roman emperors and Sicilian traditions such as the Testa di Moro.
To create the numerous pieces in this collection, the designer gathered many drawings, which he then translated into volumes using 3D software. The lines of these drawings were then identically reproduced in the terracotta.
Antonio Aricò: "It's the first time in my career as a designer that the finished pieces look exactly as I drew them. You find in them modernity, but also the purity of traditional manufacturing. I absolutely did not want to create replicas or souvenirs. These pieces are contemporary and conceived in a fun spirit, which is the spirit of Seletti."
The pieces are decorated with familiar motifs of Doric and Ionic columns, wave patterns, and erotic motifs, like those discovered as a child on ancient vases. Highlights of the collection include numerous busts and statues, carved in the style of antiquity and inspired by the mysterious "Bronzes of Riace," warrior statues from the fifth century BC. The designer has created female figures: women and men are thus mixed, as in Greek culture, in a certain gender fluidity.
"Magna Graecia" tells an ancient story that, through Seletti, finds its own way into contemporary daily life - with irony and grace.
