information
I’m Magda and I’m Folk!
My biography is made up of stones and design, dust and building sites, architecture, colours, cats and rock’n’roll.
I graduated in 2008 in “History and Conservation of Architectural and Environmental Heritage” at the University of Architecture of the “Mediterranea” University in Reggio Calabria and specialised at the University of Seville (Spain) thanks to the “European Master in diagnosis and repair of buildings: specialisation in conservation and optimisation of energy performance in buildings”. Before and during (and much after) my studies, I have never been still, between workshops, courses, projects and the creation of the brand Folk Lavastone, the Folk & Friends Concept store and active participation in the association San Michele Art Power, as a president.
Lavastone
A collection that translates into form and function a set of local suggestions, including the black of lava stone, the colours of the sea, the colours of the earth, the warmth of the sun. The raw, natural lava stone from Etna is worked using an elaborate artisan process. Finishing and ceramization is done by hand, with care and attention paid to each individual object. Unique pieces full of volcanic energy and the delicate atmosphere of Sicily.
Pop Moorheads
Specially mixed colours with irreverent solid colours and bright colours reinvent one of the most common icons in Sicilian homes thanks to a pop and contemporary chromatic language. They easily adapt to different environments, private and public, because they embody an iconographic figure with an absolutely contemporary attitude that meets demanding tastes. Pop Moorheads are hand-modelled in terracotta and hand-painted with ceramic glazes. Each Pop Moorhead is unique, and the decorations change from head to head, bringing with them small defects as values that testify to the rigorous craftsmanship. The Pop Moorheads are available in male and female versions with various shades.
Marble a porter
Furnishing accessories designed and produced using refined marble, with a demanding design and practical, convenient functionality. Ready to use, they are – where necessary – easy to assemble and transport. The Marble à porter series brings together the collections of useful “on the table” objects, marble tables and vases, overcoming the timeframes and complexities of bespoke workmanship without reducing creativity, care and attention to detail.
