FRAGMENTA

Project
The project „FRAGMENTA” is a cutlery set inspired by fragments of amphorae. Its individual elements reinterpret different parts of a broken amphora, assigning them new functions to create an intriguing table setting. Through their archetypal and fragmentary character, they metaphorically transform the table into an archaeological site.
The set was designed for a table setting for two, which is why all objects come in pairs. The rim and the base of the amphora function as candle holders, the handles as napkin rings, and the body fragments as small plates. The objects are made of aluminium, giving the traditional motif a contemporary expression, while the terracotta-coloured finish recalls the warm tones of amphorae.

Linda Baissero is a product designer from Novigrad, Istria. Born in Rijeka, she grew up on the Istrian coast and attended local Italian-language schools. In 2023, she graduated in Product Design and Visual Communication from the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. She subsequently completed an internship at Studio Veronika Wildgruber in Berlin, contributing to furniture, eyewear and visual communication projects. She continued her education at Lund University in Sweden, completing a master’s degree in Industrial Design in 2026.
During her studies, she organised exhibitions and presented her projects at events including Stockholm Furniture Fair, Milan Design Week and Lifestyle Vietnam Fair. Although she has gained experience across different fields, her practice is primarily focused on product design, particularly furniture, lighting and tableware for domestic environments.
Her creative process is grounded in dialogue with the local context. Her projects combine cultural heritage with observations of human behaviour, creating playful reinterpretations of everyday objects, details and gestures.
