The artisan laboratory in the Montelupo area, chosen by “Toscana Lovers” transforms old objects into fashionable table ware.
Their fame is world wide: dishes with a shaped rim with a coat of arms in relief following a minimalist style which combines different colours, austere colours next to pastel shades.
Here white enamel slightly rusty jugs with chipped edges, which farmers long ago used in the fields, have become cups and bowls…..then the wooden fruit crates which become majolica trays the pot blackened by use over the fire in the fireplace becomes a high-tech pan, so beautiful you can take it to the table.
A touch of Tuscany for an elegant bathroom: soap dishes and sets made in a workshop that for the last 40 years has conjugated innovation to design. They can be found in the ceramic district of Montelupo near Florence, and have a centenary tradition.
