Abacus Atelier

Abacus Atelier is a creative studio founded in Milan in 2024 by the architects Olga Spagnoletti and Diletta Aprile. Its first collection, Riviera Nostalgia, is a family of ceramic vases designed and made by hand, assembled by the owner from a base, cylinders and rings in different heights and colours, so the object is composed rather than chosen.

The idea behind the atelier is that beauty is mutable and evolves with the emotional relationship built with it, which makes every vase different and a mirror of whoever assembles it. The project comes from the memory of a childhood gesture and from the imagery of the riviera the two founders know, one from the Romagna coast and one from Salento; a second capsule, Ceramiche Bestiali, extends the same language.
