Gaya Ceramics

Gaya Ceramic and Design is a ceramics studio in Ubud, Bali, founded in 2001 by Marcello Massoni and Michela Foppiani, who moved from Italy to Indonesia to set up the company and start throwing pots. Today about 100 skilled craftsmen work on forming, glazing and firing, making handmade collections for international clients and for the studio’s own showroom.

The studio creates tableware, decorative pieces, installations, lighting and artworks for homes and hospitality, developing each project from concept research and 3D rendering to prototypes and production. Its archive holds around 25,000 ceramic models. Clients include Aman, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, B&B Italia, Cartier, Anthropologie and West Elm, and since 2010 the Gaya Ceramic Arts Center has offered workshops, residencies and gallery space.
