The narrative of a historic florentine company, mangani porcellane, whose legacy has been passed down through generations, telling stories of precious decorations. A true journey into the future with a new experience dedicated to the "veiled transmission" of tradition; to the reversal of values ​​inherent in history, translating them anew, with new functions, into contemporary objects, and even futuristic ones, offering alternative uses to the original object. The memory is not lost, but strengthened in new, unusual, powerful objects, representative of an era that is now difficult to place.

cocci cantori is produced in porcelain, glazed internally and fired at 1200°c (high firing), decorated with a 24k gold decal and fired at 750°c (third firing); the original product is literally dissected, it maintains the traditional three-dimensional decorative part on the outside with a matt white finish while exposing, in the distortion of its function, inside the memory, the codified signs of the past that are part of our italian history.

a collection of centrepieces that relates a journey into the past: the history, the tradition and the peculiar productive expertise of tuscany with its highly emotional craft skills. The narration of mangani porcellane, a florentine historical company passed down from generation to generation, unfolding stories of precious decorations. A veritable travel that projects itself into the future with a new experience dedicated to a "veiled transmission" of the tradition, an overturn of historical values ​​for a new transposition, with new functions, into contemporary objects capable of reaching the future thanks to new alternative uses. The memory is not lost, instead it is strengthened in new unusual objects, powerful and symbolical of a period that is hardly placeable nowadays.

cocci cantori is made of internally glazed porcelain, fired at 1,300 â°c (big fire), decorated with a 24k gold decal fired at 750 â°c (third fire). The product is then sectioned. The usual 3d decoration part is on the outside, with a dull white finish. Inside, the use is altered, showing the memory, the signs of a coded past which are part of our history, the italian one.
