Milan-based designer Patricia Urquiola teamed up with the students of the Istituto Caselli – Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte to blend the iconic Neapolitan heritage in white ceramics craftsmanship with contemporary design. Together they created Hybrida, a nature-inspired and fairytale-like porcelain ‘garden on the table,’ reinterpreting traditional XVIII centerpieces. All the pieces will be auctioned by Christie’s, with proceeds going towards the restoration of the Institute’s garden.
