ODYSSEY

Odyssey is a new collection of limited edition decorations

and accessories, conceived, planned and made by NCB

ARCHITETTURA as art director of SCENE MEDITERRANEE, in

cooperation with MADE A MANO.

Passion and awareness guide the authors through a shared

growth, where the aim is to value the tradition of the local

Sicilian handicraft and its know-how, with a new language.

Following the Sicilian ancient process to work ceramic and

relying on a deep familiarity with lava stone, the authors

made a series of architectural tiles that lead you across

Ulysses poem to meet the strong culture of Mediterranean

places and their great beauty.

This hero is a benchmark for whoever wants to challenge

the boundaries of human knowledge, and always keeps

going, searching for new horizons, pushing himself beyond

common places.

It’s this true inspiration that guided craftsmen and designers

through the project: the exclusive collection of tiles and

decorations preserve the Mediterranean ar tisan erudition

and historic values, but also aims to encourage and suppor

t a new concept of contemporary Italian quality, beyond

ordinary boundaries.

Two series of tiles talk about this journey across the

“Mare Nostrum”: Ulysses, Nausicaa, Calypso, Circe And

Polyphemus are drawn with the typical Hellenic colours and

simple, geometrical and evocative lines.

Penelope, Aeolus, Argos and the Sirens are defined by

lively colours which remind the Magna Graecia ancient

temples, and they can be used as decoration for unique

furnitures.
