With four grown children and two dogs, they also required the house to be easy to live in and maintain.

Archaic gestures are transformed and evolved through contemporary interpretations, suggesting endless possibilities for everyday environments. An unexpected surface The unexpected collection, never static to the eye, but perfectly smooth to the touch, conveys a complete feeling of lightness and naturalness. Ceramiche Refin recreated the plasticity of wax by elaborating a deep surface, where small cracks, cavities, and traces – derived from casting and following hardening – seem to dance lightly on a background that alternates light and dark areas. The overall effect tends to be homogeneous; as you approach it reveals the richness of the details and nuances, giving the material distinctiveness and movement. Three original shades There are three…
