For Rometti, Design Week 2025 was much more than a showcase—it was an intense experience, a collective journey filled with relationships, creative exchanges, and deeply moving moments. Every project we participated in contributed to the creation of a unique, coherent, and collective narrative, where ceramics became a living language, a vehicle for connection and reflection.
The journey began with Girotondo, at Via Cesare Correnti 12, where our Hellenic amphorae met the pure energy of childhood. Conceived by Sara Ricciardi, in collaboration with Nodus Rug and the 5vie district, the involvement of children in workshops centered on the question “What is love?” gave life to limited edition works that speak with sincerity and delicacy. Their immediate and authentic gestures transformed ceramics into a living surface, interwoven with fabrics and shapes that celebrate spontaneity and the need for care. It was a moment of emotional connection, placing the value of listening and empathy at the forefront.
This dialogue between emotion and material intensified with Golden Harvest, an installation by Sara Ricciardi Studio for Borbonese. At Corso Venezia 5, we explored another aspect of humanity: the deep bond with the earth and the ancient gesture of harvest—symbolizing sharing and transformation. Together with Borbonese and the historic Antica Fabbrica Passamanerie Massia Vittorio 1843, we shaped sculptural vases that merge terracotta, leather, and trimmings, evoking an archaic rituality that becomes tangible beauty. A path through botanical installations and golden light led visitors to a straw temple—a space of calm and contemplation. This immersive, sensory experience deepened our desire to create works that are also sanctuaries for the soul.
Continuing this journey, a special encounter added further meaning to our path: our meeting with Rossy de Palma, in celebration of the new collection co-signed with Pedro Almodóvar for Roche Bobois. Some of our ceramics helped bring to life this vibrant collaboration that merges the visionary theatricality of cinema with the poetic intensity of design. With Rossy, emotion became a living presence, transforming every exchange into a memorable moment.
This spirit of collaboration is also reflected in our long-standing relationship with Poltrona Frau, which continues to grow stronger over time. Working together means sharing a vision rooted in craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the pursuit of excellence as a form of tangible poetry. Our creations are not just objects—they are the result of a deep dialogue between form, material, and intention, in a harmony that reflects shared values and sensitivity.
In this same spirit, Design of Emotions, the installation by Monica Castiglioni at the Martino Midali store in Via Mercato 6, brought together design and fashion in an immersive experience featuring two of our ceramic vases, Lory and Lino, inspired by the world of emojis. With their essential expressions—one smiling, the other more reflective—they became symbolic mirrors of human emotions, prompting viewers to reflect on their own feelings. In this fluid space between art and storytelling, ceramics became a narrative and sensory medium.
Another particularly evocative moment took place at Via de’ Meravigli 2A, where we took part in the K3 – Kenzo Takada installation. A project born in 2020, it merges fashion, design, and Japanese spirit into an elegant and poetic visual narrative. Here too, material and meaning intertwined in a harmonious dialogue made of silences and delicate vibrations.
To complete our journey, we participated in two more significant events: Saba Italia welcomed us at the Salone del Mobile in Rho with a piece from our Semina collection, showcased within their new collections. At the same time, Neutra hosted a piece from our new Toulipa line within the evocative setting of Palazzo Visconti, where ceramics dialogued with marble in a refined installation of light, volume, and textures that celebrated the essence of pure design.
Though diverse, all these moments were linked by an invisible thread: the desire to create beauty that touches the heart, tells stories, and generates meaning. Design Week 2025 was, for us, a grand collective fresco—where every collaboration, every creation, every encounter contributed to a story made of living matter, vision, and emotion.
A story that continues—with the same passion and the same desire to create true connections.
age, a vehicle for connection and reflection.
