FEATURED VALUE
we believe craftsmanship is the only way
Serax is dedicated to innovation and quality. This is why craftsmanship remains a crucial element of the Serax approach. We work with makers who push the boundaries of what is possible with traditional materials like stone, wood, metal, glass and clay, approaching them with fresh eyes and a contemporary aesthetic sensibility.
Together with skilled artisans, we challenge ourselves to develop new processes and techniques. From a grand sofa to a delicate champagne glass, each object bears the traces of the hands and minds that make it.
Many of our Serax designs are finished by hand, this may lead to irregularities and is considered a part of the uniqueness of each piece.
“The La Mère collection consciously shows the craftsmanship with which each piece is made. The shapes are irregular and clearly show how each piece is hand-moulded.” — Marie Michielssen
Serax embraces the imperfections in its handmade products and hopes that its customers will treat the imperfections and patina that occur due to ageing similarly. Let’s not just throw away the objects we use daily if a corner is missing but instead cherish them for a lifetime.
“The shape of each piece materialises the importance of the hand touch and emphasises the quality of the hand-illustrated porcelain.” — Francesco Risso, creative director Marni
Today Sciortino is known for his applications to the technique of 'filo cotto', literally translated as 'boiled thread'. His artful design consists of flexible, iron wirework inspired by the elegant movements of dance.
The formal idiom of Marie Michielssen’s objects in papier mâché is very sculptural. Layer by layer, the material is built up and the object takes on its typical artistic form.
