01
Origins & history
Cesare and Silvia Villari founded their porcelain workshop in Solagna in 1967. The family’s work developed from decorative porcelain into tableware, objects, lighting and interior pieces, with later generations continuing the craft. A notable chapter came in 1988, when Cesare Villari produced porcelain sculptures commissioned by Jeff Koons, showing the workshop’s ability to carry intricate handwork into ambitious artistic projects.
02
Vision & philosophy
Villari approaches porcelain as a material that can move between fine art and everyday rituals. Its design language develops through hand-modelled detail, decorative colour and experiments with materials. The same interest in expressive objects links a tea service to a chandelier: each brings a sense of occasion and individuality to the interior.
03
Style & materials
Sculptural ornament and richly worked surfaces give the collections their character. Designs move from classical decorative references to cleaner contemporary compositions, often using white porcelain, coloured decoration and metallic accents. Lighting, vases and tableware can introduce a single decorative highlight or form a coordinated, expressive setting.
