Studio Charlie have designed for Made a Mano:

/PRISME/ TILES

/PRISME/ tiles, side tables and trays for Made a Mano. Inspiration comes from brick walls that we often see in the countryside, in the farmsteads, that are built to leave some spaces to let the hay breathe. These walls are simply built, the spaces between the bricks are irregular, the light is filtered inside drawing vibrating textures.

In the same way, when PRISME tiles are put together, the wall seems delicately fretworked; some portions made of lava stone from Etna volcano, dark, opaque, alternate with some portions glazed in bright colours, as if the wall were to let the light from the outer landscape come in.

Piastrelle, vassoi e tavolini PRISME per Made a Mano. L’ispirazione nasce dai muri che si incontrano spesso nelle campagne, nelle cascine, fatti di mattoni o di prisme in cemento, costruiti lasciando degli spazi per far respirare il fieno. Sono muri costruiti a mano, in modo semplice, i vuoti tra gli elementi sono irregolari, la luce filtra all’interno disegnando trame vibratili. Allo stesso modo accostando le piastrelle PRISME la parete appare finemente traforata; porzioni in pietra lavica dell’Etna, scura, opaca, si alternano a porzioni smaltate in colori lucidi, come se la parete si aprisse alla luce del paesaggio esterno.
