GINORI 1735 IN COLLABORATION WITH CONSTANCE GUISSET
One of the most important French designers, Constance Guisset has created Ether, an ethereal and poetic motif that confers an airy and vaporous touch to the elements of the Aria collection by Ginori 1735. “The creation of Ether for Ginori 1735 was quite similar to the way in which a ballet set is conceived. Ether is the scenic design I have imagined for the elements of the Aria collection. The dynamic movement of the graphic design seems to evaporate in the mingling of light and shade which makes the plates a sort of frame, within which chefs can play.” Constance Guisset Inspired by the name of the collection, with her Ether motif Constance Guisset has created a nebulous atmosphere. Ether reveals a breath of invisible air, which blows on ashes to confer movement and lightness to the surface of the plates. The texture chosen for Ether is interpreted in black which can indeed, because of its lack of tint, be matched with all possible shades. Black, when touched by transparency and light, regales depth to the plate, to embrace all sorts of gourmet creations and respond to the requirements of contemporary hospitality.
