Designer
Cristina Daminato
Designer and co-founder of Mud is Mood, Cristina Daminato has a background in both architecture and interior design. She draws her inspiration from the harmonious interaction between shapes, colors and human moods.
After having worked alongside international artist and clay technologist Nicola Boccini, Cristina started working with clay, and developed the first ceramic collections, and decided to create with her husband Valerio the Mud is Mood project.
Each product is created in small batches and completely by hand.
"My passion for ceramics was born together with the Mud is Mood project. It was a sort of love at the first sight. For the first time my ideas came off of the sketchpad and became concrete shapes. What fascinated me the most of clay is its moldable and primordial nature and the possibility of developing infinite shapes."
