Convivium’s name comes from the concept of “convivere”, the Italian “living together”, and it is inspired by the traditional cookhouse, where individual elements are arranged to be carried and stored in smallest spaces.

The set consists of two foldable boxes containing different items, made of different, sustainable, materials: solid wood, recycled non-stick aluminium, glass, and terracotta.

This choice stems from our desire to respect the environment in terms of product recycling, with a focus on the concept of healthy cooking.

Every accessory has a specific purpose and can be used in combination with the other items of the set: the pans and the stockpot can be used with the steamer basket, the chopping board can be used as a base plate for all the pans, and the lid of the bread baker can be turned into a container for the ceramic casserole dishes.

This compact, portable set guarantees a unique and versatile cooking experience.

The Zoon Etruscan table setting draws inspiration from Etruscan artifacts and consists of white porcelain stoneware plates, blue extra clear sandblasted crystal glasses and jugs, and brass cutlery. Various animals inspired by Etruscan paintings decorate the bottom of the plates. The glasses and jugs stand out for their essential design – based on the simplicity of a cylinder – and neutral colors. The cutlery recalls Etruscan artifacts and features thin handles.

Tirana Coffee and Tea takes its inspiration from the Ekspozita Building to be built in the centre of Tirana, Albania. The unusual shape of the building generates a new green area that embraces public space. The geometric composition of Tirana Coffee and Tea recalls the skyline of the building and its particular texture engraved on the surface. The set consists of five elements composed within a tray that contains them. The set is made of brass with a platinum finish and solid beechwood handles, while the tray is in steel.

The brass KNK centerpiece draws inspiration from the Kwame Nkrumah Presidential Library that rises near Lake Volta, in Ghana. This library is intended to be a knowledge hub and will serve as a catalyst for society and a driving force for social innovation. The three-level centerpiece is made of polished brass and recalls the external architecture of the building. For every level, the arched strips are welded one by one to the round base and then polished, creating a precious centerpiece.

A centrepiece in polished brass, inspired by the House of Peace in Scanzano Jonico, Matera, a project donated to the Foundation City of Peace for children, established by the Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams in Basilicata.
The Apax centrepiece comes from a single sheet folded in the origami technique to create the shape of a butterfly.

The OAS centerpiece recalls One Airport Square, the mixed-use building located in the commercial area of Airport City in Accra, Ghana. The iron centerpiece features the same angular shapes that wrap the building, creating a game of solid and void between the various components. The DeMarea iron finish is made with multiple manual oxidations that create a “watercolor” effect recalling breaking waves.

The burnished iron Pieve centerpiece draws inspiration from the House of Music of Pieve di Cento, whose architectural language is deeply rooted in the town’s musical tradition. The overlapping elliptical shapes that recall the building’s roof are the most iconic element of this centerpiece. The handcrafted finish was specifically created for indoor use and consists of various stages: oxidation, brushing (to create the “scratched” effect) and transparent coating.

The “Nuvola” collection was born in 2022 out of the collaboration between Mario Cucinella and Officine Tamborrino. It draws inspiration from the iconic shape of clouds. “Nuvola” consists of a dining table, a console table, a coffee table, a shelf system, a mirror, and a chandelier. The mirrors are unique pieces, as they are made entirely from sheet metal derived from production waste, thus following the principles of sustainability and recycling. The contrast between the hardness of the steel and the lightness of the rounded shapes makes it visually striking, light and sinuous, and adaptable to any living.
