Elicamente
Gabriele Di Stefano, the designer of these ceramic treasures, arrived in Berlin somewhat by chance and embraced the city’s rapidly changing and adaptive character. Researching methods to make her artistic vision a reality, she developed the process now used in all her ceramic work. The materials are non-toxic and have a minimal ecological impact, something that is important to Gabriele, and it would seem, a quickly growing movement in Berlin in general.
The main concept behind Elicamente has always been the analysis of the connection between humans and nature. Gabriele draws together forms and geometries present in nature and relates them to the human presence. To accentuate this link, she creates each work by hand, from raw materials, lovingly finishing each piece with immaculate detail.
For now, the best way to get your own Elicamente brooch is via the online shop or one of Berlin’s design markets. Soon though, if the rumours are true, you might also find them in some of your favourite Berlin stores.
