Adagio is a project consisting of a series of ceramic modules designed by Ronan Bouroullec to be assembled and generate scenic wall sculptures. The reticular structure resembles the fabric’s weave, whose three-dimensionality is made evident by the overlap of elements. The name refers to musical tempos and the slowness of the gesture: Adagio requires applying one piece at a time, following a sophisticated interlocking game.
It is a revolutionary project, unprecedented in ceramics, whose value also lies in the individual piece. With a size of 2.7x30 cm, the basic module breaks free from the concept of function to assume its own architectural elegance.
