SYRACUSE, OUR STRENGTH

Here, the power of volcanoes merges with a rich and captivating history, inspiring culture, authentic traditions, and a vibrant present. This unique place unleashes inspiration through its wild beauty, eruptions, and history that still echoes in its ancient ruins.
Thanks to its natural majesty and timeless cultural heritage, Sicily offers endless nourishment for creativity.
In fact, this island, with its enchanting landscapes and rich culture, is the creative cradle of Artefice Atelier, from which it draws the essence of its works. Artistic artifacts, shaped by master craftsmen, contain 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 items.

Every piece is crafted with care and love, with attention to detail; and the working method is part of the brand’s identity, never to be betrayed. They prioritize 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, translating the artist’s thoughts. This shapes the object, transforming an imagined image into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving the piece to dry for several days under special conditions, it reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is 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’ gloss and preserves the paints over centuries. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary for glossiness.
WITH ALL OUR HEART

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

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

The most advanced technologies, a desire to experiment, ongoing research, and our motivation are the factors behind the success of the manufactory.

 
DESIGN, QUALITY, AND ORIGINALITY

The entire production is driven 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 perfect product.

Every detail reflects great passion and craftsmanship: profound knowledge of raw materials, majolica processing, and meticulous attention to detail. Tangible results of the constant search for beauty and character, where design merges with the experience of the most refined craftsmanship.

Artefice Atelier, a joyful encounter of stylistic inspiration from the past and the continuous pursuit of the most modern allure, interprets high creativity at the highest level—an intersection of art, design, and good taste—while the alchemy of colors combined with signature materials creates avant-garde pieces with a unique and unmistakable personality.
