A table full of creativity
- • For Costanza, “ceramics is like music”
- • She takes inspiration from the finest traditions of Italian pottery
- • Each tableware set can be personalised and made-to-measure
In the early 1990s, Costanza Paravicini was looking for tableware to suit her tastes. Not finding anything quite up to her expectations, she decided to embark on an idea that was as simple as it was ambitious: create plates and dining sets like the ones that used to be made in the past, handmade but suitable for everyday use. “In the beginning,” she recalls, “I used to throw away everything I did! Luckily I had studied at art school and had a good hand for painting, but still it took me years to achieve the necessary level of skill.” Costanza’s daughters Benedetta and Margherita now work at her side, bringing, as she says, “a wave of freshness” to the production. Together they create tailor-made, customisable tablewear which reflects the personality of its purchaser.
