The Richard Ginori manufactory was born through the creative courage of Marquis Carlo Andrea Ginori, who in 1735 decided to believe in the Doccia area and its

potential.

The experimental character that distinguished the start of production and the marquis’ unflagging commitment made it possible to achieve “the highest level of perfection

in ceramics”: pure porcelain.

Ginori’s production has thus come down through the centuries and today, 270 years later, it still symbolises the very finest quality.

This is a place where knowledge, work, people, creativity and beauty converge. A place where the imagination finds form, a place protected by time, a repository

of craftsmanship and know-how, where study and research, workshop and laboratory,industry and factory, are the free expression of a production, unique the world over.

“Furnishing my way means creating a habitat that’s ordered yet informal, versatile and welcoming. It must evoke emotions and curiosity, it has to become an oasis of colours and

moods, a snug shell full of appealing, unusual elements in out-of-the-mould arrangements” Rosita Missoni.

Missoni Home tableware collections expand the collaboration between Missoni and the historical porcelain manufacturer Richard Ginori 1735.

Founded in almost three centuries agou by the Marquis Carlo Ginori, Richard Ginori 1735 is one of the most antique porcelain manufacturer in Italy.

thermal shock.

Jay Strongwater began his career in 1981 while a student at the Rhode Island School of Design. After garnering raves for a necklace he made his mother, he took jewellery

samples to the open buyer days at several of New York's department stores and a burgeoning business was born.

Jay Strongwater's taste for big, bold bijoux was seen throughout the 80's on fashion runways, magazine covers, and prominent jewellery counters across the United States.

The move to home accessories was delightfully serendipitous and organic. The spark was a jewel encrusted picture frame Jay created in 1995 using components

from his jewellery collection. He first gave these as gifts to friends, fashion editors, and buyers who immediately wanted more. By 1998, his Jewels For The Home

supplanted his fashion bushiness.

LOET VANDERVEEN

“To capture the soul of the man, one must look into his eyes. To capture the eyes of the Beast, one must look into nature’s soul.”

Since Man’s primordial existence, he has conveyed an abstract desire to portray his idealistic virtues in the animal form. His inclination has been to emulate the instinctive

power and elegance of nature’s assembly. It is the innate elegance of nature that the sculpture strives to reproduce. Using a medium of cast and patinated bronze, Loet Vanderveen is able to seize the celebration of the animal’s form and beauty.

Living in a remote area where there was an abundance of wildlife, coupled with his love for animals, prompted Loet to create ceramic animal forms. Striving for a more sophisticated and graceful image, he ventured into designing animals in bronze. These designs are enhanced by a rich palette of subtle patinas.

These uniquely stylised interpretations are appreciated by distinguished worldwide collectors.

took a 50 percent holding in the small company. By 1925 the small workshop be transformed into one of northern Germany's most well-respected silversmiths

The current owner, Oliver Berking began working for the family business in 1985. Robbe & Berking owes its significant consolidation of the global market

company are solely produced in the workshops in Flensburg.
