Bitossi Ceramiche

Ceramist - Toscana, Italy

Since 1871 the Bitossi family has manufactured ceramics in Montelupo Fiorentino, where ceramicists have thrived since the 16th century. The brand was established in 1921 and in the ‘50s Aldo Londi’s artistic direction started a successful collaboration with architect Ettore Sottsass and began a series of relationships with important designers who, attracted by the value of this historic brand, keep creating unique, handmade collections. This extraordinary heritage is now being rediscovered and developed under the direction of fourth-generation family member, Ginevra Bocini Bitossi.

Bitossi ceramics are made entirely by hand by our master craftsmen. Each piece is an icon of contemporary style and creativity that testifies to the excellence of Made in Italy handed down through generations

The Bitossi Ceramiche company was founded by Guido Bitossi, heir to a centuries-old tradition, in 1921.

The evolution in a modern direction became apparent from the early 1950s, under the artistic direction of Aldo Londi, a man of innate creative and aesthetic sense, attentive to changes in taste and the uniqueness of Italian products. Londi made his entrance at Bitossi in 1946 and from that moment he was the undisputed protagonist of the production style for more than fifty years. Over the years many designers have dealt with Bitossi, creating new collections. First among them was the architect Ettore Sottsass, who began frequenting the Bitossi factory from 1955 to experiment and create new modern ceramics. His collections would open a new chapter in the history of Italian design. Bitossi Ceramiche, still located in its historic headquarters and led by Ginevra Bocini, the fourth generation of the Bitossi family, represents Italian made-in-Italy excellence.

Bitossi Ceramiche, in the year 2014, was entered in the register of “Historic Italian Companies” established by the National Unioncamere.
