Milan, ITALY

Little porcelain pieces that speak to the heart.

Since she was a child, Ilaria had the opportunity to experience the world of ceramics. She was born in a small town in the province of Modena, famous not only for the best racing cars, but also for the ceramic district. Her mother worked in this sector and sometimes took Ilaria to work with her. Then, once she grew up, she decided to attend the art institute of Modena with a ceramics specialization.

Now Ilaria Innocenti lives in Milan where she works developing projects for private clients and businesses. In 2010, she participated for the first time in “Fuorisalone” (Milan Design Week) and from there she began her research into a decorative language that combines freehand drawing, texture and inspiration to form narratives.

In 2012 Ilaria created her brand ilaria.i, Little porcelain pieces that re-evaluate the manual work of the past to speak to the heart, in a contemporary way. Today ilaria.i pictures a world made of "just nice things" using her ceramics. 

Ilaria thinks at her collections as a new way of expression. A bit like with flowers plates are used to give a thought and a message to loved ones.
