Ceramiche Ragno Showroom, Milano

Ceramiche Ragno, a historic brand in the Italian ceramic industry, inaugurates its first flagship showroom in Milan, designed by the architecture studio Benedetta Tagliabue - EMBT.

The 400 m² space, with large arched windows facing Via Marco Polo in the iconic Porta Nuova district, has become a reality thanks to architect Benedetta Tagliabue as 'a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and designs that surprisingly narrate the history and technical and artisanal capabilities of the brand and the full expressive potential of ceramics.'

In this space, you'll find Bover lamps, also designed by Benedetta Tagliabue: Dome and Domita, the latter designed in collaboration with Joana Bover.

In DOME, we decided to take light outside of the object, allowing it to be a luminous sculpture created and designed to receive and emit a subtle light, a play of shadows and nuances that enrich the space for which they are created. More than 170 fragments are needed to compose this large meccano of small and large wooden pieces, skillfully interwoven and sewn together one by one by the expert hands of those who know the manual craft required for the making and care of all our products. From the beginning of the creation of the Domes, we knew that sooner or later we would have to expand the collection with smaller versions that would allow us to create lighter spaces. Based on these premises, the Domitas were born, lamps made with fine wooden slats that converge, forming a small dome that houses the LED source.
