Bitossi Ceramiche - Venere Bianca
Archetypal shapes and the tactility of terracotta: Venere Bianca is the new project that Bitossi Ceramiche has developed and produced for Matteo Thun Atelier.
Designed by Matteo Thun in collaboration with Benedetto Fasciana and produced by Bitossi Ceramiche, Venere Bianca is a limited edition collection of ten terracotta vases, all thrown by hand and decorated with the great technique of the ceramicist master potters of the Tuscan company.
The collection is inspired by the medieval containers for medicines: the ten vessels that compose the collection also want to be a tribute to the ideal woman of Montelupo Fiorentino, where Bitossi Ceramiche is located.
The special finish is the result of the impressions left on the fresh clay by fabrics and embossings. Each individual vase represents different archetypal forms and tell of a formal purity that arises out of any aesthetic category and touches the essence of the material, the terracotta.
The harmony of the different proportions puts the pots in a constant dialogue with each other and maintain the identity of each individual element clear and distinct inside the group.

Venere Bianca is:
• 100% handmade
• 100% made in Italy
• 100% done with the passion of the 'know-how'
• 100% done through research and innovation
• thanks to the expert work of the Tuscan ceramicist masters
Because of these features it became a part of the Matteo Thun Atelier, a source of ideas and projects upon which a group of architects, designers and graphic designers work together since a long time in the 'workshop' of Via Appiani.
Matteo Thun Atelier promotes a vision according to which the talent of Italian craft produces authentic beauty, essence of our heritage and identity.
The goal is twofold: to strengthen a kind of 'renaissance' of the Italian-made product in a process of collaboration with some of the excellence manufacturers of our land and to boost the economy starting from the social landscape and from “what we can do best?.
