Crafted with a light and ironic pattern, these vases evoke the joy and vitality of summer. Placed on a shelf or table, they create a relaxed and carefree atmosphere, bringing a touch of maritime freshness and humor to any space.

SYRACUSE, OUR STRENGTH

Thanks to its natural majesty and timeless cultural heritage, Sicily offers endless inspiration for creativity.

Artistic artifacts shaped by master artisans carry the fiery energy of volcanoes and the depth of ancient Sicilian legends, giving each piece a unique soul.

TO CREATE

One of our strengths is continuous idea exchange with clients. Comparing their thoughts and needs is an essential and irreplaceable source of inspiration for creating new products.

Each piece is crafted with care and love, paying attention to detail; and the working method is part of the brand’s identity, never to be betrayed. They are committed to constantly seeking new stimuli, original harmonies, expanding horizons through artistic expressions that are never banal and always experimental.

The brand also distinguishes itself through the quality of raw materials, such as stoneware suitable for tableware. Every day, they work to achieve their main goal: to channel all creativity into serving others, realizing their desires through their artistic sensibility.

FROM THE EARTH TO MAJOLICA

Every work begins with a pencil sketch, translating the artist’s thoughts. From there, the shaping of the object transforms the image of imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving the piece to dry for several days in special conditions, it reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

At this stage, the terracotta is ready for decoration. It is a phase in the production process where the artist gives their all. Often, it’s about giving space for imagination and color.

The production process concludes with a second firing at approximately 920°C, which enhances the colors’ shine and preserves the paints through the ages. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary due to the gloss.

WITH ALL OUR HEART

Dynamic, eclectic, based on artistic experience, continuous pursuit of beauty, and planning that makes Made in Italy its strength and pride. They focus on the highest quality materials and highly skilled artisans with refined craftsmanship.

Their proposal for contemporary home furnishings, style, and design is expressed through a profile that mimics various artistic expressions, where painting merges with different forms, manifesting in unique objects—raw earth that can now become a vase, a lamp, or a lively, expressive sculpture.
