Robi Renzi

The constant desire to make new discoveries. Roberto and I were selected by the editor-in-chief of Interni magazine, Gilda Bojardo, for the first edition of the Fuorisalone. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of those days: we felt we were the protagonists of a major creative shift.

Fairytales only exist in films. With the recession, sales started faltering, and the collaboration with Reale came to an end. I had already signed up for some ceramic courses in Nove, to experiment with new means of creative expression, and I decided to start anew here.

Because it is easy to work with, it is very malleable and allows me to develop many different shapes. It also requires time. Which makes it the opposite of the era we are living in, so dominated by speed. Another fascinating aspect for me is how this 'poor' material has become appealing to the rich.

When I am creating. I often spend a great deal of time thinking about my objects. I am obsessed with shapes, and before falling asleep I lie in my bed designing new forms in my head. It is important for an object to express a critical position. I hate objects that are devoid of meaning.
