Masquespacio's ‘Maora’ collection celebrates nature and craftsmanship

Spanish design studio, Masquespacio led by Ana Hernández and Christophe Penasse, in collaboration with ceramic studio Maora Ceramic has launched a captivating new ceramic collection. The collection, named Maora Collection showcases a unique blend of nature-inspired designs and expert craftsmanship. The collection designed by Masquespacio starts with the creation of an artwork comprising 26 individual ceramic pieces with contrasting colours and forms. The design approach for this artwork was to create a composition freely without any background inspiration. Showcased as a wall art it can also be used to create an infinite flooring or wall covering option.

The second item in the ceramic art collection follows the same design technique to create freely without any previous inspiration. In this case, a 20 x 20 cm format of tiles was reinvented with six organic lines that create a mesmerising pattern within it. The tile thus is applied on walls, floorings as well as tables and pots showing its endless possibilities. A supplementary experiment sees a handful of petite flower pots crafted to explore the possibility of applying the same subconscious methodology to a smaller object. This endeavour aimed to focus not solely on the intricate engravings but also on the object itself.

"The Maora Collection aims to connect with nature while showcasing the exceptional skills of Maora Ceramic as an artisan. It is a celebration of craftsmanship and the beauty that lies within handmade custom-made creations," shares Hernández. The partnership between Maora Ceramic and Masquespacio stems from a longstanding collaboration between the Valencian artisan and their involvement in Masquespacio's interior design projects.
