TO CREATE

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

Each piece is crafted with care and love, with attention to detail; and the working method is part of the brand’s identity, which they never betray. They are committed to constantly seeking new stimuli, original harmonies, broadening 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 to achieve their main goal: to channel all creativity into serving others, realizing their desires through their artistic sense.

FROM THE EARTH TO MAJOLICA

Every work begins with a pencil sketch, which is an interpretation of the artist’s thoughts. This is where shaping the object transforms an imagined image into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving the object to dry in special conditions for several days, it reaches the so-called “leather-hard” stage and is then ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

Terracotta is then ready for decoration. This is a phase in the production process during which 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’ shine and preserves the paints for centuries. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary due to the gloss.
