The AsoloArtFilmFestival XXIX edition’s Awards are made by Bosa Ceramiche, leader company in Italy and worldwide.Mr. Italo Bosa started business more than 30 years ago together with his family and his collaborators, by creating artistic ceramics in Borso del Grappa, a small village between Bassanoand Asolo. This part of Veneto region has been influenced either by the ceramic tradition of Bassano or by the cosmopolitan spirit of Venice, opened to the innovation of Asolo.Tradition, knowledge of the artisan job and of its secrets, research are the characteristics that Mr. Italo Bosa has passed to the Bosa Ceramics, a company which realizes the most glamour and modern shapes of the traditional ceramics.Bosa sells its products in more than 50 nations without being an industrial standard product and by maintaining thus always the quality and originality characteristics.“In this collection of objects - the designer Marco Zanuso Jr tells- I have sought to transmit what basically has always been myidea of pottery: something very soft and delicate and in a certain sense ancient and unchanging. A material with a sort of natural purity due to the fact of being earth. This deeply rooted feeling combined with the idea that developed in the course of numerous meetings with Italo Bosa of wishing to enter the area of new Design, that is those sectors of modern Design more sensitive toavant-garde tendencies and to the problems of communication.It was therefore our intention that the image to which the new collection gave rise would be calm and structuralized but at the same times very modern. I prepared drawings that seemed to meto express this spirit, and then began the long and difficult but also entertaining and enjoyable phase of preparation of the prototypes.Our aim was to realize forms completely new that also reflected the high technical level and quality of craftsmanship that has always been a principle of the firm’s philosophy”.
