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 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, 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.

Each piece is crafted with care and love, with attention to detail; 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, 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. This shapes the object, transforming imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired forms. After leaving the piece to dry in special conditions for several days, it 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 the gloss finish.
WITH ALL MY 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 a quest for style, in the name of elegance and good taste, where tradition and modernity, design and innovation, come together to offer a perfect product.
