Potocco presents E Claire, the collection by Ferriani.Sbolgi that explores the materiality of ash wood and marble with a sculptural design character
Founded in 1919 in Manzano, Potocco has built a solid international reputation in the design world thanks to its ability to interpret and combine different materials with artisanal mastery. The company blends wood, stone, and fine fabrics in collections that engage with contemporary architecture and interiors. Each project is defined by a balance between aesthetics and functionality, with meticulous attention to detail.
E Claire: design inspired by French pastry
The E Claire collection marks the beginning of the collaboration between Potocco and the Florentine studio Ferriani.Sbolgi. Its name draws inspiration from éclairs, an icon of French pastry, and their elongated shape, reinterpreted in the volumes of the series.
The series includes three mirrors and two consoles, one freestanding and one wall-mounted. Ash wood and marble take center stage, combined in a material dialogue that highlights the interlocking joint, the true focal point of the project.
A harmonious contrast between shapes and materials
Sara Sbolgi and Marco Ferriani, founders of the studio, designed a precise and graphic detail that creates a soft yet sculptural silhouette. The project revolves around an interlocking joint between two elements with a flattened and rounded section, producing a strong material contrast. This combination evokes brutalism but is reinterpreted through a refined and minimal aesthetic that balances visual strength with formal lightness.
Balanced proportions and careful attention to materials make E Claire a versatile collection, designed to enhance both residential and professional spaces.
Mirrors and consoles with a distinctive character
The E Claire mirrors, available in three sizes, integrate naturally into any setting, from living rooms to bedrooms. The consoles, offered in two versions – wall-mounted and freestanding – enhance the dialogue between the materiality of wood and the smooth surface of marble, becoming elegant and functional elements that take center stage in the space.
