Unique pieces in ceramic - the perfect material for the creative flair of Nino Basso, who  reflects the emotion of what surrounds him through suggestive unique shapes.

He models completely by hand and without the aid of moulds or mechanical equipments. Using the ancient "colombino" technique, he skilfully combines enamel and graffito embellishments, reflective oxides and matt surfaces, smooth and relief textures.

Ancient traditional procedures that meet  contemporary artistic expressions, a thread of continuity that  links the ancient  to the present day.

In the beginning tea, objects and gestures were used in the tea ritual. 

It was never casual, but careful to respect the rigors and symbols of a  discipline of life: Zen .

Thus in 17th century Japan, the philosophy snd aesthetics of Raku pottery was born.

Even today Raku is one of the most fascinating methods of making ceramics. 

Taking the classic traditional Japanese process and innovating it with surprising creative and stylistic contribution, our collection of  Sculpture vases - Unique pieces  research and interest in modern design combined with texture, enamel, engraving, smoothness, and relief. 

In the  search for new ceramic techniques, paperclay has widened the horizon of creativity to new expressive possibilities.
Paperclay  is a  processing technique  made of  clay - we use  Porcelain -  and a small percentage of cellulose fibers  also  docile to processing, light and resistant after firing. 

The particular shade of white, the texture that accentuates the contrast between purity and roughness, the unknown reaction to fire that freely adds deep or barely accentuated handles, are the components that bind the vases of our collection of unique pieces: Paesaggio sotto la luna - Landscape under the moon .

What makes an object covered in galuchat leather so special is the refinement of its opalescent surface composed of a myriad of granules that look like beads. 

Galuchat come  from the name of the French casing maker Monsieur Galluchat, who in the 18th century, lusting after  luxury and solemnity, invented a very complex technique for the processing of this fascinating leather that collects very different species of fish such as Dasyatis Sephen breed,  the dogfish, the Requine de Chine etc. 

Coloured in shades of white, brown, green, blue, pink, and grey, the galuchat was combined with gold, silver, diamonds, to cover small accessories such as watches, perfume bottles, trousseaus for drawing and travel, scientific instruments. 

It reached the peak of its splendour between 1920 and 1940, perfect for furnishing furniture and art objects in Art Decò style, combined with precious essences of palm, macassar ebony, rosewood, mother-of-pearl, ivory and semi-precious stones. 

There are no manuals on galuchat processing methods. After patient research and tests in the 90s we at  Design Center 1991  recovered many secrets of working this fascinating leather that decorates our line of exclusive Galucharme accessories.
