Interview with the designer
The Project
What did you like of the idea of interpreting the Riccio pattern?
I work as interior designer and I collaborate with interior design and architectural studios. I mainly deal with styling. For this reason I love working with colors, fabrics and different materials that I combine together. The first time I saw the Riccio vase from Nuoveforme I have appreciated the texture that has an ancient but also contemporary feeling. Moreover I have appreciated the incredible aesthetic and artistic result of the manual technique.
I have started to imagine a big variety of forms to be contaminated with this texture. Then, as usual, I have started to clean the redundancy of forms and I have come to this almost masculine look, made more gentle with the use of light colors and Riccio pattern.At first glance Hugo loos very simple and linear but it turns into a strong figure through the use of the decorative elements of Riccio pattern. the name Hugo well interprets its aesthetic.
Je crois ce que je dis, je fais ce que je crois.
I believe what I say, I do what I believe in.
