Oval Basket with Oranges by Eligo

About This Piece

Milanese producer Eligo commissioned a collection of lively, ornate centerpieces from the artisans of Franchini, who found a new life for vintage 19th-century ceramic molds. This project hearkens back to the days of the Venetian republic, when spectacular objets d’art adorned lavish banquet tables.

Since 1784, the Franchini manufactory has sat at the foot of the Euganean Hills in Veneto, where abundant, high-quality clay is sourced for their ceramics. While a canal once powered the machinery, today the workshop has modern comforts; yet the production methods—the molding, modeling, firing, and glazing—all observe traditional methods.

Working to preserve traditional craftsmanship and skills, Eligo source, commission, and distribute high-quality Italian artisanal works to an international audience.

The Oval Basket with Oranges, fashioned from the original ceramic moulds created of the workshop of Girolamo Franchini in Este, opened in 1784, is fully customizable with a wide range of fruits, vegetables, and baskets.

About the Maker

Eligo

Eligo is a Milan-based brand that specializes in artisanally produced objects that blend traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary aesthetic sensibility.

Originally founded under the Segno Italiano in 2011, Eligo was born from the passion of friends and colleagues Domenico Rocca (born in Sassuolo, Modena in 1981), Alberto Nespoli (born in Milan in 1981), Paolo Tarulli (born in Pordenone in 1980), and Leo Prusicki (born in Milan in 1979). These young entrepreneurs collaborate with a network of skilled Italian craftspeople to develop striking collections of ceramics, cookware, furniture, and more. Many of the designs produced by Eligo are inspired by historically important Italian craft typologies.

Projects to date include, among others, Empoli Green Glassware, which was inspired by centuries-old Tuscan glassmaking traditions; the Chiavari Chair, a modern recreation of the lightweight, classic fisherman chair; the Ramaioli Tridentini Collection, a celebration of copper cookware and accessories dating back to the mid-1900s; and the Trionfi di Frutta Centerpieces, made from 19th-century Venetian molds.

Eligo also organizes exhibitions, creates documentary videos, and acts as a commercial agent for artisans on the global market. The company art directs tailor-made collections for its customers and serves as an interior design agency for private homes and shops.
