As an ongoing body of work, everyday sculptures is an ever-evolving, ongoing collection of one-of-a-kind wheel-thrown sculptural items, designed and entirely handmade by ​giulia at ​her atelier in rotterdam. Even though each ceramic sculpture is wheel thrown, it appears to be “carved out” of a block and placed on a pedestal. ​she sees ceramics as ritual tools and art as part of everyday life. In my practice, ​guilia likes to investigate the tension between functional and sculptural, turning clay into abstract shapes and symbols, yet with a strong material presence. ​her goal is to create sculptural pieces that accompany and celebrate daily rituals, becoming domestic totems, joyful protectors of the home, and the mindful ritual we all carefully craft every day. “there must be no art detached from life, beautiful things to look at and ugly things to use.” bruno munari giulia cosenza is a designer and ceramicist based in rotterdam, the netherlands. Giulia is originally trained as an interior designer and had the opportunity to be taught during her university years in milan, by italian masters of design such as andrea branzi and michele de lucchi. After moving to the netherlands, she worked for the renowned design office droog design, deepening her interest in conceptual design. ​ ​alongside her work as a designer, since 2015, she has been dedicating herself to a more tactile, gestural, and unstable kind of practice, the art of ceramics. Her ceramic work ranges from wheel-thrown pottery to hand-built pieces and draws inspiration from the familiar, the functional, and the domestic, while challenging it all with hybrid pieces which can be situated between functional and symbolic, the material and the metaphorical. ​​ See less
