Colección Floreo

Flōreō is a collection of six different species of clay flowers that pay tribute to life, the natural, the beautiful, the sensual, the sensory, the ephemeral and, at the same time, the eternal.

Flōreō celebrates flowering and with it, cycles and temporality, maturation processes and metamorphosis. Of living matter, such as the opening process of a flower, and of inert matter, such as the cooking process of clay.

BOTANICAL INSPIRATION

Floreo means blossoming, the action of opening the flower.

The collection pays tribute to that precise moment, which is so ephemeral and at the same time so wonderful.

We capture this peak and fascinating moment of the plant cycle with clay to make it eternal.

The collection is formally inspired by two plant genera, Camellia and Clematis .
Both of great ornamental value in the world of gardening and landscaping due to the great beauty of their flowers.

For each of these two types of plants, we have created three different pieces.

A total of six species of unique and very special flowers.

And as if we were on a botanical expedition through distant lands, and we found new species by surprise, never found and identified before, we have played to invent the scientific names of each of these clay flowers.

THE LIGHT

The lighting in this collection invites contemplation through light.

Thanks to its mirrored bulb, it highlights the piece, leaving it all illuminated and allowing you to discern the different textures that make it up. Using cutting-edge technology, its steel finish bulb allows you to pulse-regulate its intensity in three steps without the need for dimming on the wall.

THE TRADITION

Flōreō values the tradition and identity of Spanish ceramics and its native colors.

Spanish ceramics are known worldwide. Its different techniques date back to ancient times and have been developed with their own character in different places on the peninsula.

The pottery of our culture is known for its vibrant colors, elaborate patterns, and intricate designs. Therefore, for our collection we have used traditional pottery glazes such as cobalt, honey or cognac.

It is a verb with different meanings in this language, and all

Collaborations

Lourdes Sendagorta, artistic and creative head of Terria, has developed the first ideas for the collection. This could never have been done without the help and collaborations we have had. A teamwork in which without a doubt each one has contributed their best version.

The ceramics have been manufactured in the Somos Bonjour workshop . Elena, with her hands, has been making each of the pieces a reality. Working with clay with love, with her delicate use of enamels and always with patience, she has made a multitude of prototypes, until she finds the selected pieces.

Berta Sanz, from Estudio del Paisaje , has devised the guiding thread of the story, seeking the relationship between the design of the final pieces and nature, and has given shape to the original idea by providing scientific and poetic content.

Gaztelur , a very special place for us on the outskirts of Biarritz, has been the site chosen to photograph the luminaries. The environment, its attention to detail and the selection of unique objects seemed to us to be the best ingredients to present Flōreō .
