Intreccio Rectangular Dining Table in Stainless Steel

The history of Bottega Lega began around 1950, when Leandro Lega began to dedicate himself to ceramics and experimenting with the technique of reduction. He lived a life full of recognition, but above all of passion for this material that he found surprisingly curious and constantly changing. From this curiosity a colour was born: Rosso Lega, which still bears this name today. This passion, which is often passed down, is an inspiration to his daughter Carla Lega, who starts working with her father in the historic workshop in Via Fratelli Rosselli.
Carla devoted herself to work together with her father and began to meet the workshop's needs and take on her first commissions. She learns to work with different ceramic techniques and different clays. From her young creative impulse, a new collection of objects is born: elements of both decoration and use that are added to the already flourishing historical production of objects in the Bottega.
Carla thus gives the Bottega a new lease of life and this more modern perspective broadens its market, so much so that a new sales outlet is opened in the historical centre of Faenza.
In 2019, Carla's daughter Martina decided to join her mother in the Bottega. Her story is a peculiar one: despite having grown up between the bedroom and the workshop, and having always been involved with ceramics in all its forms, she initially decides to enrol at the University of Economics following a degree course in Business and Administration. As soon as she graduated, she was hired as an export manager for a cosmetics company, but it was at this crucial moment that Martina's path changed. And as often happens to those who have something before their eyes but cannot see it, so it also happens to Martina, who discovers a passion for ceramics, which she had always felt but which now becomes concrete and tangible. Her love for her new profession drove her to take over the family business, becoming the owner of Bottega Ceramiche Lega.
