Arialuce by Ceramiche Marca Corona

At Cersaie 2024, Ceramiche Marca Corona presented its first collection of "gelosie", Arialuce. The series consists of extruded terracotta volumes, shaped into three forms – Curve, Pertuse, and Asole – and available in three finishes: Natural, Ivory, and White glaze. The design of the three elements has been developed to align with other typical decorations from Marca Corona collections, offering various patterns and degrees of visual filtering, from the most intense Pertuse to the lighter Asole. Arialuce goes beyond surface cladding and embraces three-dimensionality: it creates grid structures for both indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing a wide range of combinations between solids and voids. It generates volume in the space while letting air and light filter through.

The series is the result of a collaboration between Marca Corona and the Fornace S.Anselmo: two historic Italian entities that combine industrial capacity and artisanal expertise, with deep respect for tradition and a strong inclination toward the contemporary. Within Marca Corona’s range, Arialuce initiates a dialogue between terracotta and porcelain stoneware, starting from their common origin: clay. The water that mixes it and the fire that ensures its compactness become the elements that bind these materials together, allowing them to coexist harmoniously in a single design vision.

Arialuce is the first series to introduce the new Lesagome container: an abacus of solutions within Linea 1741, inspired by artisanal tradition reinterpreted in a contemporary key.
