Aldo Londi – Italian Mid-Century Ceramics

Step into the world of Aldo Londi, one of the most celebrated ceramic artists of the 20th century and the creative soul behind Bitossi Ceramiche’s most iconic collections. With a legacy that spans over three decades as the artistic director of Bitossi (1946–1976), Londi redefined Italian ceramics through his visionary approach that merged traditional Tuscan craftsmanship with modernist form and avant-garde expression.

Born in Montelupo Fiorentino—home to centuries of ceramic heritage—Londi brought an unmatched depth of knowledge, precision, and soul to his creations. He is best known for the Rimini Blu collection, a series of vibrant, hand-engraved ceramic pieces bathed in rich, crystalline blue glaze. Each object is unique, with geometric textures, carved symbols, and a meditative balance that reflect the artisanal process and deep cultural roots of Italian design.

More than just functional pieces, Aldo Londi’s ceramics are emotional works of art—objects that add rhythm, calm, and story to a space. His vision pushed Bitossi to the international stage, influencing movements in modern design and collaborating with designers like Ettore Sottsass and Matteo Thun. Under his guidance, Bitossi created objects that transcend time, blending nostalgia with modern minimalism.

This collection brings together some of his most iconic forms: sculptural animals, engraved vases, architectural vessels, and bold decorative objects. From the deep sea tones of a Rimini Blu vase to the serene symbolism of a white dove sculpture, each piece transforms interiors with a sense of timeless serenity and elevated aesthetic.

Perfect for collectors, design connoisseurs, and those seeking soulful statement pieces, Aldo Londi’s ceramics are a bridge between history and the present—a pure expression of Italian creativity and craftsmanship.
