MARTA SANSONI
Organic Shapes and Iconic Forms
Sansoni’s aesthetic is defined by organic silhouettes, openwork metal patterns, and playful contrasts between solidity and transparency. This approach has led to the creation of some of the most distinctive pieces in contemporary design. Among her best-known works is the “Cactus!” fruit bowl for Alessi, a striking piece that has become an icon of modern tableware and a favorite among collectors worldwide.
Collaboration with Alessi and Beyond
Her long-standing collaboration with LPWK and CSA has yielded a number of elegant and memorable objects, including home accessories, kitchen tools, and table centerpieces for Alessi. Notable products include the Cactus! perforated paper napkin holder in steel and the Mateglacé thermal insulating bottle holder in steel, both of which showcase her ability to merge functional design with artistic beauty. She has also designed for brands like Martinelli Luce and Serralunga, contributing to projects that span furniture design and interior styling.
Emotional and Narrative Design
More than mere utility, Sansoni’s creations are vessels of memory and emotion. They evoke sensations: like the warmth of family gatherings or the elegance of an intimate dinner. Every curve, perforation, and material choice reflects a deeper narrative. Her pieces are not just objects; they’re design statements that speak to both heart and mind. One such example is the Fiore di Loto pool lighting for Serralunga, a piece that seamlessly blends nature and design, offering a sculptural yet functional expression of beauty.
Timeless Pieces for Contemporary Living
Marta Sansoni’s work is the embodiment of design with soul. Her pieces are ideal for enhancing modern interiors with a sense of lightness, artistry, and storytelling. Whether used for decorative display or functional elegance, her designs enrich homes with poetic refinement.
