Acquario investigates the transposition of the natural world to the domestic. Working with ceramic and glass, Anologia Project’s Andrea Mancuso recreates an artificial oceanographic landscape within the confines of Milan’s Nilufar Depot. The collection is composed of a side table, grand dining table, lighting, a console and wall mirror that resemble branches of fictitious corals and invented aquatic plant life. Building on the language first explored in Mancuso’s 2019 Metamorphosis project made in collaboration with French champagne house Perrier-Jouët and presented at Design Miami/, each object is composed of an undulating skin of mounted ceramic discs. In coloring the discs, Mancuso took an almost alchemical approach. Ranging in shade from indigo blue to turquoise green, the discs’ mottled patina is derived from chemical reactions that take place whilst being fired and were made in collaboration with Ceramiche Sottosasso. Mancuso also worked with artisans to fabricate the tables’ glass surfaces. Panes of blue-tinted glass are placed atop soil and melted down to conform to the rough earth. Up close, the bubbling effect resembles the frothy surface of a restless sea.
