About CuoreCarpenito
Founded by Claudia Carpenito in 2018, CuoreCarpenito is a studio dedicated to contemporary ceramics with a research-driven approach. Her practice often revisits the vessel as an archetype, exploring how geometry, surface, and color can renew an ancient typology. At EDIT Napoli 2025, Metrica distills that inquiry into an immediate language, inviting collectors, curators, and design lovers to compose their own verses in clay.
A Ceramic Language of Rhythm and Meaning
CuoreCarpenito—Claudia Carpenito’s studio in Reggio Emilia—presents a unique offering at EDIT Napoli 2025 with Metrica. Claudia introduces a new collection that transforms ceramic form into a poetic language. This series explores the coexistence of structure and emotion, where cylinders, proportions, and intervals create a visual “meter” that evokes spoken words, silences, and the pulse connecting them. The concept highlights three cylinders representing the said, the unsaid, and the cadence between them. Metrica is not only a family of vases but also a poetic system you can compose at home, making it a truly unique concept.

EDIT Napoli 2025: A Stage for Independent Voices
This year, the Naples fair featured La Santissima as its new main venue, underscoring its mission to champion independent design and collectible craftsmanship. The 2025 program enriched dialogue between heritage and experimentation, uniting makers, galleries, and studios across the city. Amid this vibrant fabric, CuoreCarpenito’s Metrica stands out: rigorous in geometry, expressive in glaze, and rooted in handcraft. The fair’s cultural and artistic context immerses the audience in the experience.
‘Metrica’: Composition as Collaborative Poetry
CuoreCarpenito frames Metrica as “poesia collaborativa,” thereby inviting visitors to arrange pieces into ever-evolving spaces. In this way, each grouping forms a line. Meanwhile, each color contributes a tone, each gap offers a breath. As a result, the collection celebrates modularity without sacrificing warmth. Indeed, hand-thrown and glazed surfaces catch light, deepen shadows, and subtly shift throughout the day, so viewers can perceive and feel rhythm simultaneously. Ultimately, this focus on craftsmanship and collaborative composition fosters a deeper appreciation for the artistry involved.
Color, Glaze, and Proportion: The Craft Behind the Concept
Metrica’s impact is tactile. CuoreCarpenito’s background in art restoration and material culture shapes her precise handling of clay and glaze: edges remain crisp, curves stay lyrical, and chromatic choices shift from saturated to softly translucent. The studio’s broader practice—renowned for reinterpreting the archetypal vase with Mediterranean motifs—provides context for Metrica, marking an evolution from narrative patterns to structural cadence. This craftsmanship unfolds slowly and purposefully, aligning with EDIT Napoli’s emphasis on integrity in making.
Why Naples, Why Now
EDIT Napoli fosters a cultural conversation on how design can be intimate, rooted, and forward-looking. By placing Metrica here, the collection’s dual nature—intellectual and emotive, measured and free—comes to life. The fair’s curatorial energy and new venue create the perfect backdrop for visitors to experience Metrica as a living composition: you don’t simply look at these pieces; you arrange, listen, and read them in space. The fair highlighted Metrica for this very quality—ceramics attuned to rhythm and feeling.

Visitors can discover Metrica at La Santissima from 10 to 12 October 2025, featuring a program that brings independent design to the heart of Naples. Come for the craft, enjoy the cadence—and leave with a stanza you can cherish.
