Carosello

Carosello

The project
CONCEPT

Movement and Play, this is the concept from which Carosello originates.A line of ceramic items created with the purpose of celebrating ice cream at the table, as a true high-end dessert, introducing a playful and engaging ritual that sparks emotions tied to childhood.

The large bowl, which also serves as a tray, contains small cups at the center, each distinct from the other through color accents. Characterized by a scalloped outer shell, it features a sequence of cavities that hold several waffle cones, to be freely assembled like a carousel of colors.

The central cylinder inside the bowl can hold a jar of ice cream, kept at the right temperature by placing a layer of ice at the bottom.

The cavities of the bowl also accommodate coordinated spoons and a scoop, whose shape assists in filling both cones and cups, while the ergonomic handle enhances ease of use and grip.

Carosello is the result of a collaboration between Alba Pezone and Arianna De Luca, two proud advocates of Italian culture.

Development

Carosello was born from the collaboration between the Journalist and cookbook author Alba Pezone and the designer and artisan Arianna De Luca, two proud supporters of Italian culture.

Neapolitan, in love with the beautiful and the good, Alba lives and works between Paris and Italy. In 2004, she created in Paris the first Italian cooking school – Parole in Cucina, a convivial space dedicated to the promotion of Made in Italy gastronomic culture. Journalist and author in France of more than 10 books on traveling in Italy and Italian cuisine.

Arianna, from Abruzzo, was born between the hills and the sea, in a perfect encounter between folklore and nature. Interior designer in Italy and London, she became fascinated by ceramics and decided to delve into the subject of the artisans of Castelli, in her homeland. Here she discovers a universe made of ancient techniques and workmanship that are handed down in memory, honoring the territory and its tradition to bring it into the dimension of the present, in a coherent and personal, pop, bold and colorful way.

Carosello is handmade in Italy in Clay, an infinitely recyclable material, it does not produce waste as any waste can be remixed and reused.

SUGGESTED RITUAL
  • Pull the cups out of the center of the bowl and insert whatever you like inside: a jar filled with ice cream, ice, fresh or dried fruit, seeds or chocolate;
  • Remember to insert spoons, scoop and, most importantly, wafer cones inside the cavities.
  • Bring to the table and compose your dessert freely.
  • Once you finish tasting you will have the feeling of being a child again.

Carosello invites to reduce the usage of syntetic materials for the ice cream consumption
