CV & studio detailsBenedetta Pompili is a social designer interested in the cultural and political meanings behind the craftsmanship of ceramics. By composing each clay body or glaze from scratch, each project aims at delineating ways of coping with tradition and its ecosystem. 

Urban and industrial remnants costantly recur in the work. Their incorporation becomes a tool to investigate on their ambiguous status, circulation and alternative possibilities to diminish the impact of the industry.

At the core of her practice lies an interest in daily repeated gestures and in process as a form of knowledge. This extends beyond objects into the design of shared workspaces. They are intendend as environments that support exchange and collaboration

The Redux installation was developed for the Lisbon Triennale 2025 in collaboration with architecture studio BESLEY & SPRESSER and AC Minerals.

Asbestos remains a persistent and large scale global health and environmental crisis. Though its use is banned in many countries, it endures in ageing buildings, legacy mine sites, landfills and older housing stock.
AC Minerals Asbeter has developed a mechanical‐chemical process to destruct asbestos fibres and convert asbestos-contaminated cement into benign, CO2-neutral raw materials.

The installation, presented as part of the 2025 Trienal de Arquitectura de Lisboa, comprises two sculptural columns, each made from a distinct material derived from neutralised asbestos: one from MACMA, a cementitious structural material, and the other from a former-asbestos mineral glaze, applied to a ceramic base.
