FOS CERAMICHE

FOS Ceramiche was founded in 1987 from an idea of Piero Mazzotti and Andri Ioannou as a manufacture of art and design in Faenza, a city that is synonymous with majolica all over the world, and whose reputation as a privileged place for this production dates back to the thirteenth century.
In almost thirty years of activity FOS Ceramiche treasured an unparalleled technological heritage, specialized in the processing of porcelain, material whose peculiar construction gives objects matchless technical and aesthetic characteristics.
The long and meticulous preparation of the models makes it possible to appreciate, once the product’s been completed, the beauty of the composition, the perfection of the forms and the accuracy in the details of unglazed porcelain, also known as biscuit.
The decoration, both at full pattern and brush, is always applied by hand, as well as the further addition of delicate and noble metals such as gold and platinum, which make precious the finishes of each artefact.
The high firing temperature, the ceaseless experimentation and the eclectic search of glazes make every item a unique piece.
The design of the collections defines, therefore, new quality standards even for a classic material such as ceramic, through the use and the exaltation of the biscuit.

The idea, the genesis and the philosophy of a product by FOS Ceramiche encapsulate creative thinking, innovative challenge, constant research and quality control, a set of values ​​that can not be reproduced and trivialized by means of a copy.
The mission of FOS Ceramiche is to build new settings for the home environment, using interior design items whose function is the result of an ideal of beauty inspired by nature. All the vases, bowls, centrepieces and sculptures of light produced by FOS are made ​​of fine porcelain.
The sculpted and smoothed white of the refined surfaces is sometimes interrupted by colours, displayed in their infinite shades thanks to the skillful use of metal oxides, or by gold and platinum, synonyms with royalty and perfection, to celebrate the alchemy of the domestic environments.
Unceasing care to detail, desire to impress, ambivalence of a series of products manipulated in order to tell centuries-old techniques using a contemporary language.
FOS Ceramiche creates objects that don’t pass unnoticed, for exclusive and elegant interiors.
Each piece is unique, the result of a constant balance between art, craft and design, which is engraved with the FOS Ceramiche brand, as well as the excellence of Made in Italy.
