 ‘Magna Graecia’ Debuts at Maison&Objet

The pottery of Antonio Aricò.

April 4, 2023

Calabrian designer Antonio Aricò unveiled Magna Graecia at Maison&Objet 2023 in Paris. Magna Graecia is a collection of terracotta objects designed for Seletti. Taking stylistic cues from the ancient Greek colonies of southern Italy, the collection includes familiar motifs from Doric and Ionic columns, wave-patterning, and whimsical busts sculpted with reference to antiquity.

Aricò designed the objects as a family for both outdoors and indoors. The designer hopes that the objects will invade terraces, gardens and verandas but also lounges, living rooms and entrance halls. The collection ranges from functional to decorative objects. Functional pieces include vases with Doric, Greek, or wave ornamentation, crafted in both standing and wall-mounted editions. A jug is sculpted to evoke the familiar stereotype of Grecian pottery, while an Ionic column serves as either a pedestal or an ashtray.

Decorative objects include the busts Man and Poppea, along with two large and sensual ‘bronzes’ inspired by the famous sculptures of Riace. Vases take the shape of male and female heads inspired by the ceramics of Caltagirone, while a cup and an ‘amphora’ jar show battle decorations and love scenes.
