Aldo Londi

Born in Florence in 1911, Aldo Londi made his stamp on the ceramics world with his orginality and creativity. At the age of 11, Londi immersed himself in the world of pottery by working with a ceramics manufacturer. It was not until after the war that Londi progressed within the field of pottery, by becoming the art director of the famous Bitossi family ceramics studio in Montelupo.

It was through Bitossi that Londi designed an array of functional and sculptural forms, which later became a platfrom for the ceramicist's experimentation with pattern application. The 1950s Rimini Blu range is perhaps the most famous collection, which combines the ceramacist's signature style of geometric pattern with a rich blue colour palette.

Aldo Londi's iconic ranges are now handmade by ceramist masters, to ensure that each design incorporates Londi's original design characteristics. These desirable, mid century design classics are the perfect collectors item.
