Gaya Ceramic and Design 

STORY

Ciao!!

My name is Marcello and this is my wife Michela. We moved from Italy to Bali in 2001 to establish Gaya Ceramic and Design and to start throwing pots under the tropical sun of this magic island.

We wanted to build a place where intuition, inspiration, craft and love would combine and we did it!

Our primary business is the creation of exclusive custom ceramic collections, however more recently we have begun to retail some of our own designs in our showroom in Ubud.

In 2010, together with Hillary we founded our educational branch Gaya Ceramic Arts Centre, where we run regular ceramic classes, intensive workshops and have a vibrant Artist in Residency program.

We could not do all that alone… our family of about 100 skilled craftsmen are helping us in forming, glazing and firing all our Gaya’s ceramics… which is a real blessing!!

MISSION

Primarily using ceramic as our media we design and create tailored, handmade, luxurious and exclusive home and hospitality accessories such as: table sets, decorative and accent pieces, walls and ambient installations, lighting and art works.

We offer product design consultancy including aesthetic concept research and development, mood boards, graphic communication, technical documentation and 3D rendering.

Through Gaya CAC we provide educational services and artistic support for ceramic culture.

VISION

"We don't produce, we create."

We are creators and we want to be creative every day.

We do not underestimate the "container” significance because we believe that one of the greatest richness is the emptiness able to contain everything.

We believe that home accessories have a great power in creating aesthetic value, beauty, intimacy and personal meaning.

We want to preserve and promote craftsmanship, implementing the understanding and the appreciation of the ceramic's "handmade” process.

ARTISTIC STATEMENT

It is our hope to make our work speak for itself.

Through study and constant experimentation, we search for the ideal expressions to translate the stimuli around us, large and small, into objects that uncover the shapes, colours and moods from within the world. 

We try to do this honestly and without discrimination.

Our every-day is a fusion of sure and unsure circumstances, an infinite world of technical precision and mistakes, hard work and delusions, simplicity and happiness. 

For us, nothing is more lovely.
