Sagoma Ceramiche

Rome, Italy

It is imperfection that creates uniqueness, and since we ourselves are imperfect beings, it is precisely from our emotions and inner selves that we must begin in order to create something truly unique and express what we carry within.

Sagoma Ceramiche was born from founder Ilaria Loriga’s desire to express herself through matter and craftsmanship. Her main inspiration comes from her homeland, Sardinia, while her personal journey and life in Rome also deeply influence her creations. After beginning as a self-taught ceramic artist, Ilaria refined her techniques through specialized courses and later attended a sculpture academy, developing a practice rooted in both artistic research and traditional craftsmanship.

For Ilaria, ceramics are an invitation to slow down, reflect, and embrace continuous evolution. She chooses to work entirely by hand, without the use of electric wheels or molds, finding beauty in the authenticity of manual gestures and the uniqueness of every piece. This approach allows her to explore different textures, imperfections, and sculptural details, giving each creation its own distinctive character while celebrating the timeless and meditative nature of ceramic art.
