Gioi, Cave

Outdoor terracotta table and stools. The warm colors of the clay make it perfect for outdoor settings. The choice of a natural material like clay, shaped to become terracotta, and the completely manual workmanship based on the ancient production technique of orci – jars used in ancient times to store foodstuffs and wine – have inspired the designer Mario Scairato to develop “an object that can exist in symbiosis with nature, tamed or otherwise, but above all can take on charm, ageing and freely braving the elements.” The names for all of Internoitaliano’s objects are a tribute to minor Italians towns and villages, those that are rarely celebrated, but nonetheless are just as real and representative of a suffused and authentic national identity. Gioi is a town and comune in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of south-western Italy.
