In more than 100 years of activity, the terracotta creations of Fornace Poggi Ugo have taken part in projects by designers, architects and landscapers all over the world. \n<\/i><\/p>

Every professional has a different story: they design, choose and use terracotta in a specific and personal way, adapting it to every single situation, each time in a different way.<\/i><\/p>

Here at the Fornace Poggi Ugo we take care of making the best terracotta, respecting the ancient techniques of craftsmanship so that each project is realised exactly the way the designers conceived it;<\/i><\/p>

this is why we would like to talk to some of them: to understand together how a work is born and how we arrive at the choice of the perfect complement. \nThe first architect we had the pleasure of talking to is C\u00e9dric Capron, who has his studio in Nice, France.<\/i><\/p>

– How did you get to know the Poggi Ugo Furnace and why did you choose our pottery in particular?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>

“I discovered your company through an online search while looking for authentic, high-quality handcrafted materials for a project. What immediately attracted me to Fornace Poggi Ugo was your well-established reputation as an Italian terracotta producer, combining traditional family craftsmanship with contemporary innovation.<\/p>

I was struck by the variety and beauty of your creations and products. Each piece seemed to tell a unique story, with attention to detail and an aesthetic that perfectly captured the essence of craftsmanship and elegance that I was looking for in my designs.”<\/p>

– What did you accomplish and where is (if you can say) the project?<\/i><\/b><\/p>

“We carried out the construction and decoration of the Beefbar Santorini in Greece, located in the heart of the luxurious Andronis Arcadia Hotel.\u201d<\/p>

– In the context of this project, why did you choose to include terracotta pots and not other materials?<\/b><\/em><\/p>

\u201cThe choice of terracotta vases was a natural one, as the project is located on the island of Santorini and the restaurant has a bohemian-chic decor with Mediterranean accents. \n \nTherefore, terracotta vases were the perfect compromise to give the project a more mineral and artistic touch with natural materials, highlighted by the brightness of the location, especially during sunsets.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/figure>

Beefbar’s stunning location with breathtaking views of Santorini sunsets.<\/i><\/p>

– What does terracotta represent to you?<\/b><\/em><\/p>

\u201cAs an architect and interior designer, I appreciate the versatility of terracotta, which can be used subtly to add rustic accents to contemporary design or more overtly to create a bright and natural Mediterranean ambiance. \n \nTerracotta embodies a fusion of art and craftsmanship: more than just a building or decorative material, it is a story told in every nuance of its warm tones and handcrafted texture. \nIts earthy, warm character adds a touch of authenticity to any space, whether it is a richly textured exterior fa\u00e7ade or finely crafted pieces placed to decorate interiors.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"

– How do you arrive at the final choice of the perfect vase\/complement?<\/b><\/em><\/p>

\u201cAfter reviewing various proposals on both your website and competing sites, we came to the conclusion that the quality, design, craftsmanship and variety of shapes offered by your company were the perfect choice for our project.\u201d<\/p>

– Which model was your choice and why?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/p>

The vases chosen by Capron Studio for the Santorini Beefbar were the Modern Ribbed Vase \u00a0<\/a><\/i>and the Iris Vase<\/a>\u00a0 [ED].<\/i><\/p>

\u201cWe chose your vases because of the exclusivity of the handcrafted products, as well as their contemporary, diverse shapes and raw look that perfectly reflected the authentic look I wanted to give the project.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/figure>

Terracotta vases were also chosen for the bar area at Beefbar in Santorini – <\/i>Modern Ribbed Vase <\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and <\/i>Iris\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>

– Have you used Poggi Ugo complements for outdoor or indoor spaces?<\/b><\/em><\/p>

\u201cWe used the products exclusively for exteriors.\u201d<\/p>

– How has the terracotta proposal been received by your customers?<\/b><\/em><\/p>

\u201cThe choice of these different vases was very well received by the client who appreciated the different sizes\/styles proposed for the project. \n \nThe colors and materials blended perfectly with the environment in which the vases were placed.\u201d<\/p>

For our part, we are very happy to know that some of Poggi Ugo’s terracotta creations have been included in such a refined and exclusive setting, designed with respect for the environment in which it is located and perfectly integrated in the beautiful frame of the Santorini Island.<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
