MADE IN FORNACE: The Dinner

WHEN 2021
WHERE Milano
MATERIAL: white clay, green oxid

The dinner organized by Made in Fornace was an immersive experience celebrating the confluence of art, design, and gastronomy. Held in the intimate surroundings of a bespoke showroom, the event epitomized the unique vision and creativity that Made in Fornace stands for.

Made in Fornace is the brainchild of a dynamic duo: designer and artist Elena Pelosi, and journalist and creative director Luca Lanzoni. Together, they have transformed the historical fornace Curti in Milan into a hub of modern ceramic artistry. Their collaboration has birthed a series of limited editions and events that seamlessly blend the worlds of art, design, and fashion, all through the medium of ceramics.

The dinner showcased this harmonious blend, set against the backdrop of living cooking stations. The plates, true to the atelier’s signature style, were masterpieces in themselves. They featured the signature colors of green oxide, a nod to Luca’s artistic vision, and achromatic textures, a testament to Elena’s innovative approach to design.

Each piece of tableware was a testament to Made in Fornace’s dedication to responsible craftsmanship. The ethos of responsibility, a guiding principle for Made in Fornace, was evident throughout the evening. From the sustainably sourced ingredients used in the meal to the eco-friendly processes employed in creating the ceramic pieces, the event was a celebration of their commitment to the environment.

As guests savored each course, the conversation flowed as freely as the wine, with topics ranging from the intricacies of ceramic art to the broader implications of sustainable design. The limited-edition plates not only served as conversation starters but also as tangible reminders of the fusion of art and responsibility that defines Made in Fornace.
