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 ideas 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, which they will never betray. Continuous search for new stimuli, original harmonies, expanding horizons through artistic expressions that are never trivial and always experimental is fundamental for them.

The brand also stands out for the quality of raw materials it works with, such as stoneware suitable for tableware. Every day, they work to achieve the 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. From there, the shaping of the object transforms the image of imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water and can almost magically create desired shapes. Left to dry for several days under special conditions, the object reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is then ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

Terracotta is then ready for decoration. This is a phase of the production process during which the artist gives their all. Often, it’s about giving space for imagination and color.

The production process ends with a second firing at about 920°C, which enhances the colors’ shine and preserves the paints over centuries. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary due to glossiness.
