Etno-Fever, one of the key themes presented in EXPERIENCING, Arfai’s new collection for 2017, proposes a journey to the mother earth, that crosses the four corners of the world, to experience the power and warmth of global cultures: ethnic patterns, raw surfaces, expressive colors and pigmented reactive glazes, all together to offer an explosive selection of ceramics items. Find below what we propose as the 5 of the best.

1 | SHAPE: The new basketry

Inspired by the indigenous basket weaving process, ‘Morocco’ line presents a set of different sized boxes and vases. Introduced in a dual pallet of both pigment shades and raw natural creams, this line was designed to fit the so trendy boho and ethnic inspired interiors.

2 | TEXTURE: As rough as rope

Inviting to experiencing through touch, the new line ‘Rope’ introduces a marked relief that seems real.

3 | COLOR: Garish and pigmented shades

A real ethnic feeling at home demands color. Inspired by the tribal imaginary, the chromatic pallet presented travels through earthen colors and shades to more pigmented tones as red or orange.

4 | TECHNIQUE: The new tribal

A new manufacture technique that plays with the reactive properties of the glazes to reach in one same piece that vivid color, soft texture, and clumsy pattern.

5 | GLAZE: Rusty natural

Arfai creative team explored the application of oxide glazes into ceramics, reaching a final rusty and corrugated look that strengths this trending contemporary rustic concept.
