“We model ideas directly in clay, our minds and hands shape thoughts into forms,” explains the brand’s co-founder Marina Casal. “It’s an organic process, closer to sculpture than to design. From those figures, the rest unfolds: the jewelry, the collection and the story.”
“Our porcelain pieces are handmade in our workshop in Barcelos, Portugal, by Francisco Pinto, a master modeler with a lifetime of experience, and his daughter Sara, who continues his craft.The first prototypes are created directly in clay. In Madrid, we design and assemble the metal structures that embrace each porcelain figure, the moment when the jewel’s composition takes its final form.”
“When modeling, the form comes from the pressure of fingers, the touch of tools, and there is an intention behind each gesture. But once the material enters the kiln, the fire does the rest, and the results are often unpredictable, especially in the glazes and in the colors. We love that mix of control and chance.”
A Faux-Food Pop-Up
Designed to trick the eye, these fun, functional designs playfully imitate food. Shop home decor, accessories, designs for gatherings and more. MoMA has a history of acquiring faux-food artworks for the Museum’s collection. Claes Oldenburg's obsession with sculpting fake food knew no bounds and included his Two Cheeseburgers, with Everything (Dual Hamburgers) (1962) and Pastry Case, I (1961–62). His famous installation The Store (1961), where oversized replicas of food items were displayed in a mock corner store, is represented in MoMA’s collection with a poster advertising a gallery show. Artists like the Cubists and Ed Ruscha have also used food as themes in their work.
