Grace

Cori Amenta, born in Noto and currently based in Milan, has built a unique path in fashion and design. After studying art and graduating from the prestigious Istituto Marangoni, she worked as a designer and stylist for major fashion houses, eventually becoming Celebrity Stylist exclusively for Dolce & Gabbana. Her deep connection to her Sicilian roots remains at the heart of her creative journey.

Until 2021, she designed the “Shoes Equality” collection, challenging gender norms in fashion. Since 2022, she has focused on a powerful series of ceramic Moor’s heads, using her own image to denounce social invisibility and celebrate resilience. These limited-edition pieces are handcrafted in Caltagirone, blending tradition with contemporary identity.

For the Salone del Mobile in Milan, Cori Amenta presents three new works inspired by her ultimate muse, Grace Jones. In collaboration with Paolo Nesi, she has created indoor and outdoor coffee tables, signed and numbered, conceived as functional art pieces within a museum-style installation.ì

Cori continues to live and work in Milan, using her art to explore and celebrate Sicilian heritage, contemporary culture, and personal transformation.

The art of Cori Amenta meets the design expertise of Paolo Nesi in an exclusive collection of three unique coffee tables, perfect for both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Handcrafted by Italy’s most refined artisans, these timeless pieces transform the tradition of the Moor’s head into a powerful story of resilience and identity.
Each table is a blend of transparent, delicate glass and ornamental ceramic, creating a striking contrast between contemporary design and timeless craftsmanship.
