GAYA'S CERAMIC ARTISTS WORK IN STONEWARE, PORCELAIN, RAKU,
OR ANY OTHER CERAMIC MATERIAL THAT FITS THE SPECIFIC DEMANDS
OF THE PROJECT, CUSTOMIZING EVERYTHING FROM THE OVERALL
DESIGN CONCEPT TO THE GLAZE COLOR.
IF WE MUST USE WORDS, GAYA PREFERS THE WORD CLAY“.
GAYA LOVES CONCRETE MOODS, AND THE RELATION OF THIS WORD
WITH THE REAL IS SOLID. THE TANGIBLE SOLIDITY OF CLAY GROUNDS
THE UNCERTAIN SITUATIONS, THE SURPRISE, THE MYSTERY AND THE
ALCHEMY, OF THE CERAMIC PROCESS.

WITH A DEDICATED R&D DEPARTMENT, GAYA CERAMIC&DESIGN PUSHES RESEARCH
ON SHAPE, COLORS AND SURFACES TO ITS LIMITS, CUSTOMIZING EVERYTHING FROM THE
OVERALL DESIGN CONCEPT TO THE GLAZE COLORS.
FROM ORGANIC TO MINIMALIST, GAYA, WITH ITS INCREDIBLE AESTHETIC FLEXIBILITY, CAN
DESIGN ANY POSSIBLE HAND MADE SHAPE, GIVING JUST THE RIGHT TEXTURE AND FORM
TO BE ABLE TO MATCH THE RESEARCHED MOOD. GAYA’S CREATIVE OFFICE IS A STORE
OF WONDERS … THOUSANDS OF UNIQUE SHAPES ARE SITTING ON THE SHELVES WAITING
TO BE IMPLEMENTED AND TRANSFORMED
FOLLOWING THE DESIGN CHALLENGE REQUEST.
GAYA UNDERSTANDS THAT COLORS AND SURFACE FEELINGS MUST EXACTLY MATCH THE
C L IEN T’ S A ES TH ETIC VIS IO N; SO IN THE C H EM IC AL L AB OR ATORY,
GAYA CREATES EXCLUSIVE
COLOUR PALETTES FOR THE CUSTOMERS.
STARTING FROM PANTONE'S SUGGESTIONS, THEY CAN PROVIDE LINE BLENDS OF COLOR
OPTIONS TO FIND A PERFECT GLAZE EFFECT, ALWAYS LEAD-FREE WITH PRECISE
MECHANICAL STRENGTH AND SURFACE
CHARACTERISTICS NECESSARY TO SUSTAIN THE CERAMIC’S OPERATIONAL USE.

10. I DON'T BELIEVE IN TOTAL FREEDOM FOR THE ARTIST .
LEFT ON HIS OWN F REE TO DO ANY THING HE LIKES ,
THE ARTIST ENDS UP DOING NO THING AT ALL .
IF THERE'S ONE THING THAT'S DANGERO US FOR AN ARTIST ,
IT'S PRECISELY THI S QUESTION OF TOTAL FREEDOM ,
WAITING FOR INSPIR ATION AND ALL THE REST OF IT .
FEDERICO FELLINI

FOR SOME OF THE MOST DEMANDING INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: ARMANI CASA, BULGARI HOTELS AND RESORTS, COMO
SHAMBALA RESORTS, AMAN GROUP, ZARA HOME, AND MANY OTHERS.
GAYA’S INTERIOR DESIGN APPROACH IS TO ANALYZE PROGRAMMATIC INFORMATION, ESTABLISH A CONCEPTUAL
DIRECTION, REFINE THE DESIGN DIRECTION, AND PRODUCE GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.
WE CREATE THE CERAMICS OURSELVES, ENSURING THAT EACH UNIT IS A
H A N D M A D E P I E C E O F A R T .
