The dual nature of a ceramic object is one of the most fascinating aspects of human activity worth exploring. Truly, success in balancing practical problems with individual expression presents a creative challenge for Artefice Atelier. The way it approaches this theme defines its perception quality and artistic creativity.
SIENA, OUR STRENGTH

Here, the power of volcanoes merges with a rich and fascinating history, inspiring culture, genuine traditions, and a vibrant present. This unique place sparks inspiration with its wild beauty, eruptions, and history that still echoes through its ancient ruins.
Thanks to its natural majesty and timeless cultural heritage, Siena offers endless fuel for creativity.
Indeed, this island, with its breathtaking landscapes and rich culture, is a creative cradle of Artefice Atelier, from which it draws the essence of its works. Artistic artifacts shaped by master artisans contain the fiery energy of volcanoes and the depth of ancient Sienese 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 items.

Every piece is crafted with care and love, with attention to detail; and the working method is part of the manufactory’s identity, never to be betrayed. They constantly seek new stimuli, original harmonies, and broaden horizons through artistic expressions that are never banal and always experimental.

The brand also distinguishes itself by the quality of raw materials it works with, such as stoneware suitable for tableware. Every day, they work towards the 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. This shapes the object, transforming imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After a few days of drying in special conditions, the object reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

Terra cotta is then ready for decoration. This is a phase 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 about 920°C, which enhances the colors’ gloss and preserves the paints for centuries. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary for glossiness.
WITH ALL MY HEART

Dynamic, eclectic, based on artistic experimentation, continuous search for beauty, and planning to make Made in Italy its strength and pride. It relies on the highest quality materials and highly experienced artisans with refined craftsmanship.

It offers proposals for contemporary home decor, style, and design, expressed through a profile mimicking 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, praying sculpture.

The latest technologies, a desire to experiment, ongoing research, and our motivation are the factors behind the manufactory’s success.

 
DESIGN, QUALITY, AND ORIGINALITY

Our entire production is guided by the pursuit of style, in the name of elegance and good taste, where tradition and modernity, design and innovation come together to offer a product of excellence.

Every detail expresses great passion and craftsmanship: profound knowledge of raw materials, majolica processing, and a careful love for details. All tangible results of the relentless search for beauty and character, where design merges with the experience of the most meticulous craftsmanship.

Artefice Atelier, being a fortunate meeting of stylistic inspirations from the past and the continuous quest for the most modern allure, interprets high creativity at the highest level, a meeting of art, design, and good taste, while the alchemy of colors combined with material creates a mark that generates avant-garde objects with a unique and unmistakable personality.
