What you see here is more than just a vase. It’s the manifestation of fluid energy, where the lines are free to dance and the textures hold the touch of human hands. Each curve tells a story of spontaneity, every stroke a burst of creativity. In a world obsessed with perfection, I believe in embracing the raw, the unpredictable, and the organic. This piece? It’s alive with motion, imperfect and yet utterly whole. Swipe to feel the energy. Let’s celebrate what’s real, what’s crafted with passion, what belongs to those who dare to break the mold. #CeramicLife #HandcraftedStories #ArtInMotion #BeyondTheVase #CeramicPassion #milanodesign #CraftedWithSoul #artgallerynyc #artgallerylondon #potterystudio #potterylife #flowerdesign #londondesign #parisdesign #luxuryvilla #luxurygifts

Some objects don’t just reflect light. They seem to organize it. Doria is the vase of ordered light, a handbuilt ceramic work from the Aurorae Collection, shaped with the ancient coil technique. Its deep blue circles and golden centers evoke small suns, suspended orbits, and luminous windows between the sea and the sky of the Amalfi Coast. Here, Mediterranean light does not scatter: it gathers, concentrates, and moves across the surface like a silent constellation. Each mark repeats, but never in the same way. The hand remains visible. The rhythm stays alive. The clay becomes a vision: light turned into orbit, color turned into movement, surface turned into emotion. Doria: where the Mediterranean becomes a constellation. #OnofrioAcone #DoriaVase #AuroraeCollection #ContemporaryCeramics #CeramicArt

What if a vase could hold the memory of an entire Mediterranean summer? Aurea is the vase of luminous fullness: a handbuilt ceramic creation from the Aurorae Collection, shaped with the ancient coil technique and born from the language of light, earth, and memory. Its warm orange circles, embraced by green rings, evoke ripe fruit, sunlit citrus, Mediterranean gardens, and the abundance of the Coast. The surface seems to breathe with the memory of summer: the high sun, the pulp of colour, the slow rhythm of terraces overlooking the sea. With Aurea, clay becomes an inner landscape, a symbol of growth, nourishment, and life ripened by light. An exclusive creation presented at Palazzo Litta. #OnofrioAcone #AureaVase #AuroraeCollection #ContemporaryCeramics #palazzolitta

Celia An exclusive creation from the Aurorae Collection, presented at Palazzo Litta. Handbuilt using the ancient coil technique, Celia is a ceramic work of contemplation: a vessel where pale blue glazes, transparencies, and suspended oval forms evoke water-moons, reflections, and quiet presences between sky and sea. Its surface seems to breathe, holding seeds of light, intimate visions, and the silent rhythm of the Mediterranean. A piece that invites us to slow down, listen to silence, and inhabit light as an inner presence. #OnofrioAcone #CeliaVase #AuroraeCollection #PalazzoLitta #contemporaryceramics

After an intense and unforgettable Design Week, and after the beautiful event at Palazzo Litta has come to an end, I feel it is time to pause and say thank you. First of all, to my FAMILY, always by my side, always supporting me through long, demanding, passionate journeys like this one. Their presence in my stand is the most beautiful image I could carry with me from these days. ❤️ A heartfelt thank you to @robertaeusebio_pressoffice for the meticulous care, dedication and intelligence with which they helped me organize this extraordinary exhibition, coordinating months of work and communicating this project across Europe with elegance and precision. My deepest gratitude also goes to the entire @moscapartners team Luca, Matteo, Debora, and everyone involved, and especially to Caterina Mosca. Your energy, vision and tireless organization made this event not only possible, but truly exceptional. And finally, thank you to all the people, I would dare say thousands, who stopped during this week to look at my vases, to ask questions, to share their admiration, their projects, their stories. Your words, your compliments and your genuine enthusiasm gave me an incredible energy. You reminded me once again why I create: to connect, to move, to surprise, and to open new paths of beauty and collaboration. Milan Design Week always has the power to amaze us. Now a new chapter begins, made of connections, creativity, passion and hard work, with the desire to create pieces that are even more beautiful, more meaningful, and capable of carrying forward all the emotion and admiration received in these unforgettable days. Thank you, Milano. The fire continues 🔥

Grateful and truly honored to be featured in IDEAT Germany, especially in the month dedicated to design. Seeing my home, my work, and my ceramics told through these beautiful pages is a moment of deep satisfaction. It is not just a place I live in, it is a space of inspiration, imperfection, memory, and Mediterranean soul. A place where my ceramics are born and where beauty is allowed to remain authentic. My sincere thanks to the entire editorial team of IDEAT Germany for choosing to publish this story and these images, and for capturing the atmosphere of a world that is so personal to me. A special thank you to the writers, the photographers, and everyone who made this publication possible. Proud, grateful, and inspired to keep creating. Thank you, IDEAT Germany. @ideat_magazin

Perfection can impress. Imperfection can move. In the extraordinary setting of Palazzo Litta in Milan, during Milan Design Week — one of the most prestigious events in the world for the design community, seeing my special collection of vases, The Perfect Imperfection, on display has been a true honour. More than anything, it is deeply moving to witness so many people stopping, observing, and connecting with my work. Each piece is a celebration of what makes handmade art truly alive: gesture, instinct, texture, character, and that unique beauty that only imperfection can hold. To share this vision in such an iconic place, surrounded by so much inspiration, is an immense satisfaction. Grateful for every look, every word, every emotion. The Perfect Imperfection continues its journey. #MilanDesignWeek #PalazzoLitta #ThePerfectImperfection #CeramicArt #ContemporaryCeramics

I don’t want to reveal too much about the pieces and the vases I am about to present, because I truly want them to be experienced live. What I can say is that something extraordinary is coming. These have been two intense days, yesterday and today, dedicated to the preparation of my solo exhibition at Palazzo Litta, and I am genuinely very satisfied with the work we have done. It would mean a lot to have you there to discover my new collection and my new exhibition, “The perfect imperfection of ceramic art.” I would be very happy to welcome you in person during these days in Milan. Palazzo Litta 21–26 April Corso Magenta, Milan

Milano Design Week is almost here. And once again, it promises to be an exciting journey of collaborations, visions, and new creative energy. This year, I will be present at the stands of Snaidero Cucine, De Manincor, and Cattelan Italia, while also showing my work at Cardi Gallery, in the heart of Milan, in collaboration with DSIGNINMILANO studio. Alongside these collaborations, I will also be presenting my personal exhibition at Palazzo Litta. The most important week of the year for design is about to begin, in the city that continues to define its language, its direction, and its future. Milan remains the place where ideas take shape, where aesthetics meet vision, and where meaningful connections begin. Looking forward to sharing this new week of design, beauty, and inspiration.

What if imperfection is exactly what makes something unforgettable? Unda is born from movement, rhythm, and the beauty of irregularity. A vase shaped by gesture, texture, and emotion, where every mark becomes part of its identity. This piece is a preview of the world I will present at Palazzo Litta, Milan, for “The Perfect Imperfection of Ceramic Art”. I’d love to welcome you to my gallery and share this journey with you in person. 21–26 April Palazzo Litta Corso Magenta, Milan Come and discover the poetic force of ceramic art through surfaces, forms, and imperfections that make every piece unique. See you in Milan. #OnofrioAcone #CeramicArt #PalazzoLitta #milandesignweek
