When ceramics becomes an art.
Peronda Group’s manufacturing plant number 1 reaches 50 years. In its honour, Francisco Segarra presents new collections.
Within the 50 Anniversary Edition, Francisco Segarra brings out new wall tiles inspired by an age-old pottery technique, where each piece is always unique and wonderful.
FS RAKU
With raku techniques, pottery coated in a metallic glaze is fired in a special kiln until it reaches a bright-red firing temperature. It is then removed and covered in wood chips or slivers of paper to generate combustion and lots of smoke. This penetrates the pot, coming to form part of it.
This alchemy of the four elements: earth, fire, water and air has been the source of inspiration for Francisco Segarra. Experimenting with it, he comes up with a wall tile in a brick format whose colours, textures, crackle surfaces and nuances all evoke the beauty of raku pottery.
