The story behind

Circe is one of the heroines Ulysses encounters on his odyssey. She is a mysterious enchantress with fabulous powers. Here the myth has been transposed to the object, where the smoothness and solidity of porcelain contrast with the sensuality of leather interiors. The wooden lids and mirror add warmth to the overall composition. Composed of a small round tray, two different sized boxes, a make-up brush pot and a mirror, the Circé line has been designed to accompany the various steps of a beauty routine. The red border, hand-painted on each of the porcelain pieces like a signature, resembles a stroke of lipstick and evokes the expression: "beauty is a gesture".
