VASE VISAGE

Daniele Lanza, also known as Jimmy D. Lanza, was born in 1979 in Vigevano, Italy. Since childhood, he has been drawing as an expression of his creativity, sensibility and refinement. In 1997, he graduated in graphics and in 2004, he graduated as an illustrator at Scuola Il Castello in Milan. In 2008, he began as a freelance illustrator, graphic designer and decorator while still studying various painting techniques such as oil, pencil or watercolour, experimenting with all media always in search of new stimuli. He briefly delved even into tattooing or furniture design.

The encounter with ceramics at the beginning of 2016 was certainly cathartic and quickly consecrated him to the world of Made in Italy Design. The different series of VISOVASI Vases are certainly the most appreciated and recognizable works of his repertoire. The ceramics of Jimmy D. Lanza are unique pieces of craftsmanship, made entirely by hand in Italy in limited editions. The style is eclectic, referring to pop culture, symbolism, and surrealism romantically linked to nature. His main selling outlets are Etsy and Instagram and with his audience, he often creates a real relationship, exchanging advice and appreciation, and getting commissions.

His work was featured by DOMESTIKA, HI-FRUCTUSE MAGAZINE, CERAMIC MAGAZINE or CERAMICLICIOUS. He collaborated with Marco Lupo, a young entrepreneur from Milan, who founded the start-up LOOPO MILANO in 2020 for which Lanza created a series of very special vases depicting old ladies called LE SCIURE. Said collection has immediately received international praise and has been featured by the most renowned magazines of the dedicated sector such as ELLE DECOR or COSMOPOLITAN… and also made its way to the living room of CHIARA FERRAGNI.
