Italian designer Sonia Pedrazinni pays homage to the great Italian painter Giorgio Morandi’s still life paintings by bringing to life vessels found in his canvases. The ceramic vases that make up the Le Mirandine collection are handcrafted by expert artisans and painted by hand. “Le Mirandine,” as Pedrazzini says, “is a conceptual work which, through the tools of design, re-appropriates Giorgio Morandi’s poetics and compositional methodology to bring the objects which the master represented in his still life works back into three dimensions.” The collection encourages people to recreate the pleasing compositions found in Morandi’s restrained works. I’m certain he would approve of the exquisite colour palette she developed for the series.
