Antonio Aricò wanted to give life and depth to each of the main characters: a soldier, a reindeer and an angel. He was inspired by Gio Ponti’s use of decorative illustration for the design of Richard Ginori ceramics, and their clever use of tonal gradients reminiscence of airbrushing. He explains: ‘All I wanted was to inspire the whole family: the kids but also the grandparents. For me Christmas is a joyful, loud and fun moment that I always spend with all my family in Calabria, it’s very unique. I wanted to design classic but contemporary pieces that everyone could imagine graceful and evanescent playful stories with.’ These dreamy and loving stories are illustrated by deep and elegant shades of blue.
