The narrative of Ceramica Cielo’s new Itaca collection by Luca Cimarra starts with the idea of an island, a concept that the designer has skilfully transposed into bathroom elements. A land surrounded by water, a world in itself concluded yet open, circumscribed yet complete, the island becomes a metaphor for an increasingly intimate domestic space.
Itaca, a symbol of homecoming and reconnection to one’s roots, inspires a family of sculptural ceramic elements of strong aesthetic impact, expressed at their best in the cylindrical freestanding washbasin, which can be paired with customisable wooden storage units featuring an essential and functional design with a compact footprint. The collection’s washbasins and sanitary ware, with their simple and primordial forms, stand out from the walls while integrating harmoniously into the surrounding architecture, enhanced by the rich chromatic range of glossy and matt glazes from the Terre di Cielo and Acque di Cielo palettes. The island, understood also as land—the same land from which ceramics originate—becomes both a metaphorical and material element, guiding the entire design narrative and placing the material at centre stage.
The collection is completed by an oval washbasin, available both as a countertop version and as a freestanding model when placed on its column, along with a pair of sanitary ware offered in both floor?standing and suspended versions. The floor?standing model recently won the Archiproducts Design Award 2024 in the “bathroom” category, a testament to Itaca’s design excellence and attention to detail. With this proposal, Ceramica Cielo confirms its mastery in shaping ceramic material, creating elements with a strong aesthetic presence and consistently aligned with the most current trends in bathroom design.
