Works in porcelain stoneware, handcrafted in Italy.
Water, earth and fire enter into dialogue with mind, heart and hands, to shape what remains when all the superfluous is removed.
Every detail comes from an essential gesture.

History
March 14, 1977
A basement, two friends, a subject to reinvent.
Giuseppe Bucco and Flavio Cavalli, fresh graduates of the State Art Institute for Ceramics in Nove, bring Lineasette to life in an improvised workshop.
The intent is not to imitate, but to chart a new way in ceramics: essential, enduring, rigorous. The chosen material, porcelain stoneware, imposes expectation and precision. It is not easily tamed.
For three years, everything revolves around the search: the right temperature, the perfect blend, the form that seeks not attention, but truth.
It is there that the Lineasette style takes shape: sober, quiet, radical.
Where ideas come from
Ideas take shape in silence.
Sometimes they emerge from an unhurriedly observed landscape: colors, curves, proportions that remain imprinted. Other times they arise from what is close, experienced, affective.
Or they still settle in the gaze turned to the great masters of the past, where every form has a weight, a rhythm, an intention. The first gesture is traced by hand: sketches, lines, variations that try to grasp the initial intuition, still opaque but present.
Every creation starts from there, from a drawing that tries to contain a thought. Then comes the material.
L'clay is molded to create the prototype, with attention to every detail.
There are those who work on the lathe, to follow regularity. And those who model by hand, leaving freedom to the forms.
The porcelain stoneware
Nine, in the heart of the Veneto region, has been one of the capitals of ceramics for centuries.
This is where the Lineasette workshop is located: a place where earth, water and fire continue to dialogue with craftsmanship knowledge, guarded and handed down over time. With these three elements, earth, water, fire, form is generated. The invisible is made visible.
A fragile balance that requires listening and time. Lineasette creations are born exclusively from artisanal processes, and take shape in porcelain stoneware, a dense, durable, noble ceramic.
A compound of clays, kaolins and feldspars, brought to 1200°C, that does not simply allow itself to be molded, but demands knowledge and precision. Compared to traditional ceramics, it returns a tactile and expressive depth that is felt over time.
An exclusive formula, refined over the years, now allows porcelain stoneware to be worked with precision and consistency. But it remains a living, sensitive, changeable material.
A material that does not allow shortcuts and which requires, every time, awareness and care.
The color
A color range that has been studied in every detail, designed to accompany, never cover, the forms. Each shade is born of rigorous research, made up of testing, firing times, observation.
Nothing is left to chance: color is part of the design, not finish.
The opaque, rough, monochromatic character that distinguishes Lineasette creations comes from an engobe: a coating made from clay, metal oxides, and silica sands. "Engober" in French means to cover with a layer of earth, and that is exactly what happens: matter on matter.
The result is a raw, dotted, deeptone , traversed by chiaroscuro that emerges discreetly on the surface. In some creations, the surface opens to vitrified glazes: shiny, smooth, reflective.
Where color does not absorb light, but rather sends it back, transforming it.
