Famiglia Oliva is a collection of table design objects created to celebrate an icon of Mediterranean culture: olive oil.Made of brass, tinplate and copper, they feature archetypal shapes that suggest a new gesture, generate curiosity and speak of hospitality and well-being. Famiglia Oliva populates the table with characters with different connotations, designed topresent and enhance oils with different organoleptic properties and origins. Pigi - the “Olfactory Taster”, suggests through the hole which is the first sense to involve in the evaluation of an oil: the sense of smell, to inhale the sweet, slow and intense smell with a natural gesture. Immediately after comes the taste, tasting it in the right quantity makes the oil spread in the mouth to perceive the aromatic componentsWhile the color of the oil is not a significant element in assessing its quality, its smell, its scents are. The project was born from the collaboration between Astrid Luglio and Mariella Caputo, realized by the craftsmen of Rua Catalana. Astrid Luglio is a Neapolitan designer transplanted in Milan, who has always been attentive to the creation of objects capable of activating multisensory stories, experiences that investigate the renewed need for involvement of the senses.Mariella Caputo, sommelier, master oil maker and maître of the restaurant Taverna del Capitano, from Nerano, has always been attentive to read the succession of changes and the consolidation of new habits in the sharing of the table.From the meeting of these two different experiences the project Famiglia Oliva was born: starting from a Mediterranean icon, the olive oil, of which it proposes to tell its story and the ways of consumption suggesting new gestures.
