Wait
Orologio da pareteWall clock
Wait invita a fermarsi, riflettere e godersi il momento, trasformando il tempo in gesto poetico.
Un orologio semplice e rassicurante, realizzato a mano in gres porcellanato con una forma organica che diventa un disegno funzionale: il perimetro circolare è scandito da quattro nervature radiali posizionate in corrispondenza delle ore principali, che danno un ritmo al quadrante ma fungono anche da sostegno al corpo in fase di cottura del materiale. Il perimetro resta bianco e grezzo, con la volontà di trasformare una necessità tecnica (il dover appoggiare il pezzo in forno, creando una zona di contatto impossibile da tingere) in un attributo estetico (ottenere un profilo evidente che risalti e si stacchi dal quadrante.

Wait invites you to pause, reflect, and savor the moment, transforming time into a poetic gesture.
A simple and reassuring clock, handcrafted from porcelain stoneware with an organic shape that becomes a functional design: the circular perimeter is punctuated by four radial ribs positioned at the main hours, which give rhythm to the dial but also serve to support the body during the firing process. The perimeter remains white and raw, with the aim of transforming a technical necessity (having to place the piece in the kiln, creating a contact area that is impossible to dye) into an aesthetic attribute (achieving a clear profile that stands out and stands out from the dial).
