Maria Giovanna Zadra

Maria Giovanna Zadra, who came from an artistic family, was taught as a youngster by her maternal grandfather, Oreste Trevisan, a famous sculptor, painter and engraver, who passed on his creativeness and taste for beauty, harmony and imagination. For more than a decade she actively researched new technologies, colours and materials, achieving original, innovative results in the field of decorative items. Since 2006 she has devoted most of her time to technological and aesthetic research applied to ceramics, and her creations have received acclaim from both public and critics. Her works feature in numerous prestigious private collections. The Olympos, Daisy, Buster and Sugar ranges are her latest creations, which – though expressing different harmonies – all hark back to the ineffability of the shapes present in nature, which combine gentle curves with the decisive strokes of one who tackles life with determination and obstinacy. Olympos range. VENUS and APHRODITE vases are the designer’s first creations based on antiquity and mythology in which shapes and dimensions are reinvented. They are identified by the Latin and Greek names of the goddess of beauty. Just as Olympos was the cradle of Aphrodite/Venus, Terre d’Italia becomes the forge that moulds seemingly tough material into sinewy shapes that are reminiscent of femininity at its most sublime. The VelveTouch® effect enhances the feeling of silkiness. Daisy range. Inspired by nature and its loftiest manifestations represented by petals and buds, the Daisy range is a reinterpretation – with unique chromatic effects - of garden and meadow flowers, a rediscovery of freshness, simplicity and harmony of an ordinary daisy. Available in the pot and cache-pot version. Buster range. Geometric shapes which, despite their apparent irregularity, reduce the observer to the notion of movement and harmony. Ideal as a magazine holder or a container for flowers or floral compositions. Available in three heights: 26 cm, 18 cm and 10 cm. Sugar range. Following the downward volutes of cascading crystal-clear water, the observer loses himself in imagining shapes and paths that take on a different appearance at each look. The milky-white colour offsets the chiaroscuro and takes us right back to our childhood, with a stick of freshly-spun candy floss, like the one her grandfather gave young Giovanna who was eager to find out how it was made.
