Founded in 1967 by Marco and Tina Terenzi, the wife of renowned ceramicist Nanni Valentini, this manufacturer successfully combined tradition and innovation, producing a wide range of functional and decorative ceramics that captivated an international audience.

What distinguishes Ceramica Arcore is its handcrafted approach to production, combined with a strong aesthetic sensibility. Each piece is handmade using traditional techniques and high-quality materials, such as glazed terracotta and porcelain stoneware. The result is a collection of unique, durable objects with simple forms, warm colors, and a rich, tactile texture.

Nanni Valentini, a leading figure in 20th-century Italian design, left an indelible mark on Ceramica Arcore’s production. His works, distinguished by a strong sculptural quality and meticulous attention to detail, became icons of Italian design. Even after his passing, the manufacturer continued to produce pieces inspired by his style, keeping his legacy alive.
