Grandi Vasi
Bianco Cave is proud to have taken part in the exhibition “Tobia Scarpa: Design e Gusto della
Tavola Italiana”, which was held from 1 August to 31 October 2023 at the Museo Civico di
Maglie (LE), curated by Cintya Concari and Roberto Marcatti.
For the occasion, the company had the honor of collaborating with the famous architect Tobia
Scarpa, creating five exclusive outdoor vases in Bianco Cave natural Limestone, designed
especially for the event, that tell the simplicity of composition and the link with the territory
through the use of a native stone.
The vases, unique in their design, have been exhibited in two prestigious locations: three outside
the Museo Civico di Maglie (LE) and two at the Museo Castromediano in Lecce.
This collaboration represents an important opportunity for visibility for Bianco Cave, which has
had the privilege of contributing to a project that celebrates the excellence of Italian design,
supporting one of the most famous and internationally appreciated architects.
A special thanks goes to the curators of the event, Cintya Concari and Roberto Marcatti, for
choosing Bianco Cave as partner for this extraordinary experience.
