Nathalie du Pasquier

Nathalie Du Pasquier was born in Bordeaux (France) and has lived in Milan since 1979.  Until 1986 she worked as a designer and was a founding member of Memphis. He designed numerous "Decorated surfaces": fabrics, carpets, plastic laminates and furniture and objects.
Since 1987 painting has become his main activity.
The last project of the seven Sculptures presented by Bitossi dates back to 2018.
After the experience in the Memphis group and the attention towards painting, in 2004 Nathalie du Pasquier designed a collection of three bottles composed of stackable elements, where the chromatic research, linked to painting, is particularly evident. The collection was reissued in 2018 in limited edition.
In 2018 the proposal of the new collection Sette Sculture affirms the pictorial thought that materializes in almost three-dimensional shapes: geometric compositions with different elements in bright and opaque chromatic contrasts.

Bitossi Ceramiche

Bitossi is a historic identity of Italian manufacturing, present since the second half of the nineteenth century in the area of Montelupo Fiorentino, Tuscany. The Bitossi manufactory, today Bitossi Ceramiche, belongs to the family for five generations and has been located in the same place since 1921. The company in the year 2014 was included in the Register of Italian Historical Enterprises. Bitossi production until the end of the 1940s reflects the traditional taste linked to local production, and then evolved into unique creations exported worldwide that still represent the excellence of Made in Italy. Many designers have approached the production of Manifattura Bitossi over the years, creating new collections. First of all, the architect Ettore Sottsass, who started to collaborate the Bitossi factory from 1955 to experiment and created new modern ceramics.
