CARLO ZIGRINO Dinner plate

Sensory aesthetics combined with the decor of ZIGRINO form a surprising contrast to the chaste basic form and to the accentuated swing of porcelain series CARLO. The unique structure of the rim of plates and platters originates from the firing process, where special lacquer applied cracks due to thermal tensions between decor and porcelain. The fine-lined fissures and the effect they allow are quite similar to the character of the costly shagreen of the skin of rays. Despite its aesthetically distinct characteristic the black decor of the noble and unique specimen remains, in combination with the clear white of the background, demure and chaste. This allows sufficient space for table decoration.

Born out of the synthesis of classical and modern elements, with CARLO a form has been created that perfectly implements the contemporary view of design. CARLO is a convincing service with geometrically precise structures and playfully sweeping curved handles. While the plates have that shapely and classical look, the cups give a modern impression. The passionate Italian designer Carlo dal Bianco created the porcelain line in 2009 with a view of the obvious formal contrast which allows the achievement of a convincing emotional entity.
