Maco

A meeting of civilizations shaped by the skilled hands of master craftsmen who, digging into the millenary culture of Japan, return the “Maco”, a centerpiece inspired by ancient Japanese ceramics. The creative gesture shapes the matter with a unique vision because the designer’s mind investigates seemingly impossible dialogues.

The parallelism put on stage is that between Etruscan/Villanovan culture and the poor art of the dawn of Japanese civilization, before the discovery of enamels. In the new vision of the single accessory, a change of scale is necessary: from the ideal Udon bowl, the popular Japanese soup, today the large “Maco” centerpiece with a diameter of 45 cm is born.

The clay used for this item is a refractary chamotte cooked in bucchero.

The word Bucchero comes from the Portuguese “bucàro” (fragrant land). In Italy is is associated to the fine ceramics brought to light during the excavations carried out in the Etruscan necropolis. In fact, the Etruscans would have made great use of the typical black ceramic to produce everyday items made fascinating by the characteristic shiny surface, the elegant shape and the precious workmanship.The black technique on the type of Etruscan Bucchero is a magic technique that consists in cooking items in a reducing atmosphere, i.e. without oxygen. It is a process that allows to obtain black coloured pieces, which strongly show the essence of the ceramic process.

The spirit of contemporary research leads to experiencing new production methods and innovative forms, shaping unique items in the characteristic total black of Bucchero.

The item is produced in different sizes, each one unique and can also be glazed, with a precious and timeless final effect.
