Just shy of Florence, you’ll find the tiny commune of Montelupo Fiorentino, cosying up to the Tuscan hillside. It’s here where the Bitossi family made their name in the local ceramic trade as kiln workers, sculptors and painters, their artisanal lineage stretching as far back as the mid-1500s. Present-day Bitossi was shaped by master ceramicists – first Guido Bitossi, then Aldo Londi. Since the 50s, Bitossi has collaborated with a curated selection of designers from across the globe, making the offerings as diverse as they are desirable. Each made-in-Italy piece is a work of art, even those with functional purposes, such as vases, candlesticks and tableware – true conversation pieces for the hospitable home.
