Coppa Camuna is a tribute to the centuries-old steel-machining industry of northern Italy. Designer Giulio Iacchetti emphasizes that the current design of bowls is the result of thousands of years of small modifications by countless anonymous artisans. The product is turned, forged, brushed with beeswax, cooled. The resemblance to a helmet is not entirely coincidental. Giulio Iachetti swapped an old soldier’s helmet that served as a plant pot in a school for a terracotta specimen and absorbed the history of the old helmet. The crude steel bowl departs from the utilitarian purpose of wartime helmets and instead suggests a new function: to contain the essences of life, not the heads of soldiers. Coppa Camuna is thus, in addition to being a craft piece, also a symbol of peace.
