3) LAM Ceramica
Meeting with the designer, Calle del forno 4246, Cannaregio
Laura Aletti says: “Rule no. 1: never get attached. I have learned that when working with clay, it can happen that some pieces break or the result is not what was imagined… For every object that does not reach its destination, the journey we took together remains. You truly learn something from every mistake. And for every object I have let go, many others are grateful!”
In addition to her Instagram account, you can contact her via email at potteriesbylaura@gmail.com
4) RimaniVenezia
Presentation of the design & food concept store, Barbaria de le Tole 6443
The name Rimani Venezia holds multiple meanings. It is a play on words: ri-mani (re-hands) / ali-menti (nourish-minds/minds) aware. It comes to life from RIciclo (Recycle) and MANI (Hands) — recycled and handmade objects, crafted by thinking minds. RIMANI (Stay) in Venice, because Venice is a unique and magical place where one can still live well. Our desire is to start again from beautiful and genuine things that come from the earth and healthy labor.
