RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We embarked on a journey to differentiate ourselves from repetitive projects by embracing a unique and original design approach. Drawing from our 52 years of experience, we returned to our roots with a fine stoneware collection crafted through old-school, handmade techniques. Our aim is to not only reconnect with our heritage but also to infuse our products with historical and cultural significance through artisanal craftsmanship, presenting it to the world. By intertwining traditional and modern elements, we have created a piece that both reminisces about the past and inspires the future, making our journey all the more meaningful.
CHALLENGE: The creative challenge in this project lay in blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design sensibilities while ensuring authenticity and originality. Overcoming this required navigating internal factors like honoring our historical roots and cultural heritage while adapting to contemporary market demands. Externally, we faced obstacles related to sourcing materials, complying with regulations, and integrating new technologies without compromising the essence of handcrafted artistry. Balancing these factors was crucial to achieving a seamless fusion of past and present in our fine stoneware collection.
