Fornace Brioni spotlights earthenware with the new Grounded exhibition that highlights new [wall and floor coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tile-of-spain). It is designed by Cristina Celestino and Snøhetta and guests are taken on a terracotta tour. This is curated by Cristina Celestino [Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-floris-rubben). The approach is similar to a museum experience as the material journey goes through a range of vignettes that capture the feeling of home.

There are three collections that were showcased at the exhibition including the Void range by Snøhetta. It boasts minimal designs with [hand-pressed terracotta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terracota-collection) which highlight the soft structures and imperfect accents. The rich texture is detailed with a playful narrative between light and shadow along the surface. The structural element supports the strength of the designs.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Terracotta Revival:** Rediscovering the natural charm and versatility of terracotta art installations can elevate contemporary design aesthetics.
- **Hand-pressed Craftsmanship:** The unique qualities of hand-pressed terracotta present a tactile and visually rich experience that contrasts with mass-produced materials.
- **Imperfect Accents:** Embracing imperfect textures in art installations introduces a new layer of authenticity and organic beauty into modern interiors.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Interior Design:** Terracotta-inspired designs inject warmth and artisanal quality into residential and commercial spaces.
- **Architectural Materials:** The use of terracotta in structural applications offers an environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing alternative to conventional building materials.
- **Art Curation:** Featuring art installations inspired by terracotta in museums and galleries can create immersive, tactile experiences for visitors.
