Phoenix Rising

In a wood-fired kiln—built based on Fred Olsen’s “Phoenix” design—Faletti fires his well-balanced functional ceramics. The Italian artist from Piedmont also seeks balance in the fusion of Eastern aesthetics with Western functionality. Faletti’s mission: “To bring beauty into people’s homes and into their everyday lives.”
