The fashion for terra cotta is back. In the age of environmentalism and sustainable living, its natural rawness and beautiful color are once again featured in interior designs.
Why the renewed popularity of terracotta? From the return to nature! Fashion, food, transportation - in many areas of life we are turning to what is good for the planet. This trend does not bypass interior design either. Terracotta refers to it already by its name, terra meaning earth. We like it for its natural origin, artisanal production methods and ability to "age" beautifully in the spirit of wabi-sabi. Speaking of the recurring trend for terra cotta, we consider it in two aspects: as a color and as a material.

Terracotta belongs to the palette of earthy colors. Its bleached red, suspended between brown and orange, is intriguing. It is both delicate and expressive. Its great advantage is that it blends beautifully with almost all, bleached colors, as well as with strong black, gray, brown.

Terracotta is obtained by proper firing of purified clay. Thus, it is a natural and environmentally friendly material. In addition, durable and resistant to external factors. And most importantly it ages beautifully. With the passage of time, minor damage enhances the effect of natural beauty. All this makes objects made of terracotta unique.
