Cartoccio is a series of ceramic objects with a corrugated paper-like surface. Paronetto now widens the original collection by adding new surfaces and finishes, reflecting her love for detail.

Cartocci Finestra Colore

Colore offers two harmonious chromatic scales: vivid colours ranging from yellow to blue and warm natural tones including white, beige and different nuances of brown and green. The series is available with an overall colour finish on the outside (Cartocci Colore) or with coloured geometric segments (Cartocci Finestra Colore).

Cartocci Finestra Oro

Oro is a series of bottles and bowls enriched with pure gold, applied with a brush and fixed in a third baking process.

Cartocci Corteccia

Corteccia alternates plain surfaces and segments with different textures, conferring a surprising impact to every piece.

Cartocci Lisci

Lisci is composed of plain segments in order to emphasize the silhouette and volumes of every item. All of the Cartoccio series are on display at Maison&Objet 2012 in Paris until January 25, 2012.
