Morandi in your hands
by Marco Senaldi Surely for everyone, Giorgio Morandi means something. As soon as we hear his name, our minds recall the famous still life paintings, so motionless, so silent, and touched by that inimitable, opaque light. If you mention “Morandi”, you immediately remember his bottles. |
![]() Le Morandine came into being as a conceptual work, a quest that - through the tools of design - examine the poetics of Giorgio Morandi’s compositive art and render the objects that the master represented in his still lifes in three dimensional form. |

The Pattern
The observation of signs The concept of the Le Morandine line has been developed from the observation of lines, circles and pencil sketches Morandi marked on his work table to determine the correct placement of objects, and thus, establish the perfect artistic composition. To complete the project, a pattern was created that reproduces, in a stylized way and with contemporary graphics, a “map of Morandi”, with the circular signs being the positions of his bottles. Those who own these candles and vases know that one can interact with them, arranging them on a level with the same freedom with which the Master moved his objects before capturing them on canvas.

The Vases
Create your still life
A collection of handpainted ceramic vases, the shapes of which conjure up Giorgio Morandi’s still lifes.
"I believe that nothing can be more abstract, more unreal, than what we actually see. We know that all we can see of the objective world, as human beings, never really exists as we see and understand it. Matter exists, of course, but has no intrinsic meaning of its own, such as the meanings that we attach to it. We can know only that a cup is a cup, that a tree is a tree." Giorgio Morandi |

A tribute to the Master “One of the foremost Italian Still Life masters has inspired a talented Italian designer not only to give life to his paintings, but also to let us be part of that process. |
