Artistry Inspired by Tradition

The clean lines of the Lastra collection, which translates to "slab" in Italian, are inspired by the circular wooden molds traditionally used in cheese making across Italy. These molds were crafted in such a way that the hoop would slightly overlap, aiding in maintaining the cheese's shape. Master molder Stefano Roselli has incorporated this detail into the Lastra design, infusing character from the base to the rim. The subtle dark dusting on each piece's edges pays homage to the ash historically used in cheese preservation, enhancing the distinct silhouette of every item.

Masterful Handcrafting

The craftsmanship behind Lastra can be credited to Signor Stefano Roselli, a master molder from a ceramics cooperative just outside Florence. Collaborating with both him and factory owner Franco Ammannati for nearly 15 years, VIETRI has developed an array of dinnerware, vases, urns, and home décor pieces that reflect Italian heritage and artistry.

Heritage of Tuscany

Tuscany, located in central Italy, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and exceptional craftsmanship, contributing significantly to cultural influence. Often termed the "art palace of Italy," this region is the birthplace of the Renaissance and home to numerous masterpieces. The legacy of ceramics thrives here, retaining its importance today.
