Behind the Scene: Arianna De Luca

When I first started designing and producing my pieces, I used to slab-build everything. Since most of my shapes include curves and spherical forms, you can imagine it was very difficult and time-consuming, even though I used to enjoy the process a lot, as I really had to dive deep into the geometry of the object, decompose the shape, and compose and assemble it again. Once the demand grew, I needed to find a way to produce better pieces with less risky techniques, so I started slip casting. At the same time, I did not want every object to be identical, as in an industrial process, so I now slip cast the basic shapes and then add details, small parts, and decoration by hand. This preserves the handmade look and feel, and every piece is different and unique.

Another important moment of my production is the color palette. I dedicate a lot of attention and investigation into picking and combining colours to obtain unusual and evocative color combos. I then apply all colours by hand brushing. This allows me to combine more colours and elements in the same piece.
