Assembly unveils new line of ceramics, between craftsmanship and modernity

ASSEMBLEA presents its first line of ceramics titled Ceramiche Assemblea, inspired by the Italian craft tradition. The opening of the project will be held on Nov. 8, 2024, at the Rome headquarters. On display will be a refined collection of six sets of plates in fine white earthenware, made using the technique of casting in handmade casts. Assemblea, defined by its founder Monica Polledri as a “cultural garrison on the artifact,” is located in the heart of Testaccio, a neighborhood with a long commercial tradition dating back to Roman times, where historic stores coexist with modern spaces. For the past eight years, the reality has represented an artistic meeting point that interweaves the tradition of ancient crafts with the vision and thinking of contemporary Italian artisans-artists. The project is dedicated to the enhancement of unique, entirely handmade creations.

With its new production, Assemblea takes another step forward, bringing to the market its own, distinctive, aesthetic vision, aimed at combining artistic craftsmanship with commercial production, thus reflecting Monica Polledri’s idea of an “everyday life made of objects of use, but at the same time decorative and joyful.” Everything starts from the plate, the everyday object par excellence, a symbol of conviviality and sociality represented by sharing a meal, a space of humanization, listening, and exchange. “I wanted to complete the circle, make a proposal myself and present something that fully represents me,” Polledri explains. Over time, much of the tableware proposed by Assemblea has found expression in this material, alongside creations in glass, wood, paper, fabric, and precious metals. The plates in the first six services presented to the public(Brillante, Insieme, Eden, Favola, Sorgente, Picnic) are a tribute to the craftsmanship of Italian artisans, blending the elegance of traditional ceramics with the beauty of decorative ceramics. The plates can also be purchased individually, as unique, decorative pieces, or in complete sets intended for everyday use. The base of thin white earthenware is enriched with colored ceramic applications and decorations: borders, references to the vault of heaven, ever-changing designs that make up a wall of magic circles, and bring, with the Assembly line, a touch of play and dream into homes.
