Attua Aparicio – Mirror, mirror

Attua Aparicio Torinos is a designer and artist specializing in experimental material research within product design. Her work combines ceramics, glass, and hybrid material processes, embracing chance and perceived "mistakes" as creative potential. She studied Design Products at the Royal College of Art in London and is a co-founder of Silo Studio. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Design Museum London. In addition to her studio work, she teaches regularly at prestigious institutions such as Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art.

International ceramic residencies, including at the EKWC European Ceramic Workcentre and in Jingdezhen, China, profoundly influenced her practice. There, she further developed her research on the combination of ceramics and borosilicate glass. Her work emerges from an experimental process that explores material behavior and pushes the boundaries between craft, design, and material experimentation.
