About Arianna de Luca
Arianna De Luca creates collectible ceramic objects that blend Mediterranean
heritage with a bold, contemporary aesthetic. Every piece is a celebration of
craftsmanship, color, and cultural storytelling - designed for interiors that embrace
artful living. Handmade in Italy, each object is more than functional, it is a narrative
fragment, a joyful ritual, a modern heirloom.
Arianna was born in Abruzzo, between hills and the sea, in a region that harmo-
niously combines folklore and nature. After studying Industrial Design in Italy and
London, where she obtained an MA from Central Saint Martins, Arianna became
captivated by ceramics after years dedicated to interior design. She decided to
delve deeper into the rich heritage of Castelli’s artisans, in her homeland, where
she discovered a world of ancient techniques and processes passed down through
generations. With a coherent and personal approach, Arianna honours the local
traditions and elevates them into the contemporary realm, enriching her work with
a distinctive vibrant and colourful character.
Her objects are real characters, with their own souls and personalities.
They become cherished presences, enriched with singular details that evoke multi-
faceted memories. Paying homage to Mediterranean elements and celebrating the
Italian heritage, Arianna’s objects stand out in the domestic environment by trans-
forming archetypes of tradition into expressive, colourful, bold figures.
Through the careful selection of brilliant colours and primitive forms, supported by
a strong artisanal technique, these special inhabitants emanate a powerful energy
that seamlessly translates nostalgia and the past into an innovative and distinctive
contemporary decor, never boring nor repetitive.
