UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
These container, whose shape ideally recalls that of a drop, can be used for various purposes, in fact the ceramic material in addition to make it suitable to contain food, it allows for both indoor and outdoor use.

TAGS:
container, ceramic, light, rope, coffeetable, basic, product, hanging, drop,

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
New technologies, such as smartphones, tablets, etc., tend to physically isolate us based on a social network that travels. The reaction to this isolation is "Goccia" which encourages a rapprochement as happened in the past with the fireplace or the most recent TV.

CHALLENGE:
The first difficulty was found during the hand-working of the prototype, because it is not easy to work the clay on the lathe to reproduce precisely an organic shape, in 3 different scales. I had to consider also the weight and characteristics of the ceramic I wanted a system that was at the same time simple for maintenance and visibly minimal for suspension. For this purpose a truncated cone of wood was made, which fits into the neck of the container thanks to its own weight, to which the rope is engaged. The lamp holder, powered by a decorative electric cable, is attached to the same wooden element.

Goccia has truly earned its place as the winner of the Platinum A' Design Award in the Furniture Design Category. With its sleek, organic shape that resembles a drop, Goccia is a beautiful and versatile container. The ceramic material is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use and the warm white LED light creates a cozy atmosphere. The three different sizes and the addition of an oak top to the largest one are just the icing on the cake. It is clear that Giuliano Ricciardi was inspired by the idea of a domestic hearth, and their work is a modern update of the traditional fireplace. The use of new technologies like smartphones which tend to isolate us, makes this design all the more meaningful. The hand-crafted ceramic body and the woodworking of the top, as well as the suspension system, all show the great attention to detail in this design. Goccia is a stunning example of good design that deserves to be celebrated.
