The Play of Combinations – Villa Rotonda

on the occasion of the exhibition for the 500th anniversary of the birth of andrea palladio, the cisa (centre for international studies of architecture andrea palladio) presented the “game of the villa”, a refined collectors construction game (the pieces are in ceramics) that illustrates the striking palladian design modularity, based on an idea of howard burns, developed by mauro zocchetta with the art direction of cibicworkshop.

the ceramic elements of the game are made of soft, light-coloured earth, which is formed in plaster moulds, finished and then decorated with non-toxic water colours; the work is carried out entirely by hand by master ceramists. It should be noted that each small, minor defect is in itself an indication and a typical feature of the manual production process. made in nove, italy, by stylnove.
