Jangir Maddadi's Hellas Washbasin for Ceramica Flaminia Debuts at Cersaie 2026
At Cersaie 2026, Ceramica Flaminia introduced Hellas, a washbasin crafted by designer Jangir Maddadi. This circular ceramic piece represents the inaugural partnership between Maddadi, known for his work in furniture and public spaces, and the company. Originally from Kurdistan and refined in Sweden, Maddadi's Union Bench is included in the U.S. Embassy's Cultural Heritage collection. Hellas showcases a shallow relief on its exterior, drawing inspiration from architectural forms, and features a continuous rim surrounding a sleek interior. Established in 1955 in Civita Castellana, Flaminia, under the direction of art director Giulio Cappellini, produces all items in-house. The basin is available in Nuvola and Terracotta finishes, combining architectural rhythm with simplicity.
