TO CREATE

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

Every piece is crafted with care and love, with attention to detail; the working method is part of the brand’s identity, which they never compromise. They are committed to constantly seeking new stimuli, original harmonies, expanding horizons through artistic expressions that are never banal and always experimental.

The brand also distinguishes itself by the quality of raw materials, such as suitable stoneware 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 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.

Terra cotta 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 production process concludes with a second firing at about 920°C, which enhances the colors’ luster and preserves the paints for centuries. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary for glossiness.
WITH ALL OUR HEART

Dynamic, eclectic, based on artistic experiments, continuous search for beauty, and planning to make 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 and design, expressed through a profile mimicking various artistic expressions, where painting art merges with different forms, manifests in unique objects—raw earth that can become a vase, a lamp, or a lively, praying sculpture.
