Artefice Atelier is a synonym for the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.
The dual nature of ceramic objects is one of the most fascinating aspects of human activity worth exploring. Success in balancing practical problems with individual expression is a creative challenge for Artefice Atelier. The way they approach this defines the quality of their perception and artistic creativity.

SICILY, OUR STRENGTH
Here, the power of volcanoes merges with a rich and fascinating past, inspiring culture, true traditions, and vibrant life. This extraordinary 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 inspiration for creativity.
In fact, this island, with its breathtaking landscapes and rich culture, is a creative cradle for Artefice Atelier, which draws the essence of its works from here. Artistic artifacts shaped by master craftsmen carry the fiery energy of volcanoes and the depth of ancient Sicilian legends, giving each piece a unique soul.

MADE TO ORDER
One of our strengths is continuous idea exchange with clients. Comparing their thoughts and needs provides essential and invaluable inspiration for creating new items.
Every piece is crafted with care and love, paying attention to detail; the working method is part of the brand’s identity, never to be betrayed. They are committed to constantly seeking new stimuli, original harmonies, and expanding horizons through artistic expressions that are never banal and always experimental.
The brand also distinguishes itself by the quality of raw materials used, 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 the image of imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving the piece 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.
The terracotta is then ready for decoration. This is a phase in the production process where the artist gives their all. Often, it’s about giving space for imagination and color.
The process ends with a second firing at about 920°C, which enhances the colors’ brilliance and preserves the paints for centuries. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary for glossiness.

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 workers with refined craftsmanship.
Their offer includes furnishings, style, and design for the modern home, 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.
Cutting-edge technologies, a desire to experiment, continuous engagement in research, and our motivation are the factors behind the brand's success.

DESIGN, QUALITY, AND ORIGINALITY
All our 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. Tangible results of an ongoing search for beauty and character, where design merges with the experience of the most meticulous craftsmanship.
Artefice Atelier, being a happy meeting of stylistic inspirations from the past and the continuous search 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 signatures generates avant-garde objects with a unique and unmistakable personality.
