01
The raw material.
Impruneta clay personally selected by Massimo Carbone. A unique composition, rich in natural oxides, prepared and kneaded by hand to ensure maximum durability and breathability.
02
Shaping
Entirely manual production, without the use of industrial machinery. We employ traditional techniques such as the coil method (colombino), freehand work, and molding, making every vase a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.
03
Firing process.
Slow, natural drying followed by firing at over 1,000°C. This rigorous cycle renders the terracotta completely frost-proof and ensures an unlimited lifespan.
04
The creation.
Living objects that breathe along with the plant. A synthesis of functionality and Tuscan genius loci, designed to decorate and endure.
