Cielo

A contrast of glossy and matte perforated surfaces: Cielo presents itself as a delicate perforated pattern in bisque that simultaneously embraces and enhances any glazed sideboard surface. Our iconic design was created in 1992, when Stefanie Hering experimented with hand-drilled pieces to test how much mass could be removed from the clay without loss of form – to the limits of what was possible.

Cielo is undoubtedly our most elaborate decoration: each hole is drilled individually and by hand into the leather-hard, unfired porcelain. The holes are then rendered with a sharp stainless-steel blade and smoothed with a fine sponge. After high firing at up to 1400°C, the perforated surface is given a manual polishing with a diamond coated tool.

As one of our bisque porcelain collections, Cielo is robust, durable and easy to care for: traces of use such as cutlery abrasion can be easily polished off the resistant bisque. This makes the collection suitable for the home table and ideal for use in hospitality.

The uniqueness of the decoration as well as the charming play of light and shadow make Cielo a proven highlight in combination with our bisque collections Velvet and Pulse, but also allow the furnishing of a complete service as well as the use as an elegant accessory for our prints and glazes.
