Anabella Georgi
Anabella Georgi studied graphic design, this helped her create her own language where graphics and color are central to her design process. Her interest in craftsmanship and production processes has led her to work with different artisans always looking for new ways to use different materials and create new forms.
Kiara Matos
Kiara Matos has been working in ceramics for 25 years, and is in result a refined craft person. Her practice reflects a mixture of process based intuition, design appreciation and a pragmatic use of color.
