ciao caio, nove italy

Artist and designer, Jenna Basso Pietrobon has re-envisioned the use and spaces of 'Terramica Ceramica', by dreaming of a place where artists gather, produce and learn about the history and makings of ceramics. 'Ciao Caio', named after Pietrobon's great uncle Claudio, nickname 'Caio', who currently owns and operates the factory. Pietrobon’s vision is to restore and maintain the integrity of the architecture - the arched ceilings, expansive windows, and original expressive terrazzo floors. The concept behind the design was to build off of the natural surroundings and complement the industrial building. The use of olive greens are striking against the crisp walls and arches. The injection of geometric shapes creates depth and visuals into adjacent spaces.

'Ciao Caio', based in Nove, Italy, is a residency for artists, designers, architects and creators.
