With ROOM FOR YOU! iCOON opens its Rotterdam art & design year 2025 with the first solo exhibition of designer and ceramist Massimo Pavan. Born and raised in Italy, living and working in Rotterdam for 10 years.
Craftsmanship is central to Massimo Pavan; he strives for perfection in every millimeter of his objects. It often takes months for an object to be ready. And the risk of deviation or breakage remains until the last moment. "It's part of it."
Massimo studied the empty space of the bunker like an architect when designing ROOM FOR YOU!. He vigilantly tries to touch the emptiness as little as possible with his objects of porcelain and clay.
