  Interview with Gioia, founder of La Corallina, on Ikat and its history

  Posted in: Default category

  Ikat is an ancient technique, and this alone makes it fascinating. The term comes from the Malay mengikat, meaning “to tie”: the threads are bound and dyed before weaving. This means that the pattern is not something applied afterward, but something that emerges from within the very structure of the fabric. It is a technique found in many parts of the world, from Central Asia—particularly Uzbekistan—to Indonesia and India, and each tradition has developed its own visual language. What unites...

  The shape of Spring

  Posted in: Default category

  That is exactly the case. Color is never neutral, but in spring this truth becomes evident. It is no longer contained within form: it passes through it, expands it. The Procida collection, for example, emerges from a very precise intuition: that color can produce a spatial vibration. The contrasts, the luminous backgrounds, the tension between the floral motif and the surface are not conceived to represent a flower, but to convey its energy, its happening. Procida does not describe spring; it...

  Posted in: Default category

  With this series of zodiac charger plates, we chose to move away from the most predictable idea of an astrological collection, one based on recognizable emblems and figures, and instead work on a more subtle terrain: the sign not as an image, but as a sensitive structure, an atmosphere, a quality of space.

  Interview with Lorenzo Lambardi, Product and Store Manager at La Corallina

  Posted in: Default category

  In less than a decade, with La Corallina we have managed to build a clear and recognizable identity, especially in the segment of placemats and lampshades, which are still our historic core products. The journey has been gradual but very coherent: we started from a precise vision, from a strong idea of style, and we worked consistently so that this language could become readable, credible and distinctive. Today, alongside our most iconic lines, we are developing new product categories with...

  Interview with Valentina on the Concept Behind the Zanzibar Collection

  Posted in: Default category

  In Zanzibar, color is not decoration but a true language. We wanted to avoid any form of neutrality: every shade is conceived to be present, recognizable, almost physical. This is a deliberate choice, because color has the power to change the atmosphere of a space instantly. Here, it is not an accompaniment but a statement of expressiveness. As Matisse said, “Color, above all, and perhaps even more than drawing, is a liberation” — and Zanzibar is born precisely from this freedom.

  New collection Natale in Città

  Posted in: Default category

  There is, in La Corallina Firenze’s new collection Natale in Città, something that goes beyond the object itself, beyond its functional purpose — as if the charger plate, that perfect circle, mirror of an ancient gesture, became a metaphor for light itself, for its dwelling within matter and transforming it into narrative. Six plates, six fragments of a landscape both urban and interior, in which winter is not merely a season but a state of the soul: a suspended time, gilded at the edges,...

  “A Lampshade Is Not a Detail” – A Conversation with Valentina from La Corallina

  Posted in: Default category

  In a workshop just steps away from the center of Florence, among fabrics, trimmings, and metal frames, objects are born every day that tell much more than they seem. They’re called lampshades, but according to Valentina – the creative soul of La Corallina – they seem to have a soul of their own. We met with her to learn what it means today to create light with your hands.
