Mosca Bianca combines the workshop function with an exhibition space. A laboratory that, through a single gesture, embodies the narrative of the ceramic crafting process.

The space is shaped like clay on a potter's wheel, with the central core becoming a plastic form generated through the twisting of the ceiling. The centripetal force of the design gesture places a table, seemingly monolithic, in alignment with the light that penetrates the stereotomic shape above. During use, it declares itself autonomous, in contrast to the space, as light tectonic furniture and showcasing its nature of interlocks and overlays, enabled by the layering of okoumé wood veneers.
