Story
Named for a Sicilian site
The Molteni&C page says the Pantalica collection is named after the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site in southeastern Sicily, and that it is inspired by Mediterranean landscapes and the cultures that inhabited them in antiquity.
Archaic, rounded forms
According to the page, the rounded design is influenced by archaic forms, echoing the art that emerged at the dawn of civilization and still resonating today. Elisa Ossino's quotation on the page links the pieces to a fascination with primitivism.
