About Russian Majolica

Russian Majolica

Our ceramic atelier is an association of artists and ceramists many of whom are members of various professional societies and associations based on family craft businesses.

This is why our works are of authorship even when we rework famous historical objects of art or use our standard molds.

This is also why you can get exceptional art objects made for your home in one singular exemplar. Even when they are made using our standard molds, there’s always a unique component to them: low relief murals, carved ceramics, art murals or complex multilayered brilliant glazing.

We would like to showcase a house quite interesting in its architecture, completed in the neo-constructivism style, which had its façade decorated with coffee-toned handmade ceramic tiles.

And although the classical constructivism would not recall using this material from a completely different era, the prefix ‘neo-‘ almost indefinitely expands the possibilities of style, presenting only one requirement – recognition.

Architects from the Design-Capital bureau designed a beautiful facade that retained the features of classical constructivism, but also made references to the futuristic architecture of Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s authorship.

What looked especially interesting to us was the usage of the brushstroke technique for painting facade tiles, and the combination of nine closely matching glazes gave the coating the colored nacre effect, where ceramics work with texture, surface, pattern, but not color. As a result, the majolica on the facade gently gleams, diversifying the monotony of the plastered walls with its watercolor strokes.
