The process of crafting and hand painting the Motif collection

Meticulous precision

Although the decorations of MOTIF seem simple at first glance, a closer look will unfold a landscape of intricate, hand-painted lines that manifest the skill of each porcelain painter and the individual expression of their brush. It requires an enormously steady hand to create the fine lines of the pattern and to maintain the space between each line, creating a final, captivating pattern.​

The decorations of MOTIF are based on four principles: The icon, the chain, the overlay and the flower. These principles inspire the decoration on each piece in the collection, resulting in a selection of pieces that are both truly their own and part of a whole

The beauty of the MOTIF collection lies not just in its design but also in the meticulous craftsmanship behind each piece. The carefully hand-painted pattern showcases the incredible precision and skill of our painters, each piece a testament to their exquisite craftsmanship.
