A gently curved palm. A resolute stroke of an index finger. Or a forceful blow of a knuckle or mallet. A Domani piece, whether in clay, zinc or Corten steel, bears witness of its creator. It remembers every touch, and carries a memory forever etched in its permanent shell. It displays traces – of mankind and of the elements.
Domani is formed by hand. It isn’t just handmade – each piece shows the unique traces of the palms, fingers and tools that give it its shape. It is a living vessel that carries the imprint of its master – the way exquisite pottery and metal craftsmanship has done since the beginning of time.
About Domani
HONOURING TRADITION WHILST ADVOCATING INNOVATION
Domani manufactures high quality pottery that consistently reflects the passion and expertise if its craftsmen. Founded by Bart Bauweraerts, Gino Van Den Breen and Pieter Leemans in 1992, the company oversees all steps of the manufacturing process, from the conception and design of the collections at our Antwerp headquarters to the production of each piece in our own facility just outside of the historic Hungarian city of Pécs. The city is home to the world-renowned Zsolnay Porcelain Manufacture and is equipped with over 160 years of acquired skill in stoneware and ceramic production.
Opting for purely manual production methods and age-old techniques rather than the machine-made and automated, we value those tell-tale remnants that only human hands leave behind. The clay is mixed on site to achieve the perfect consistency and colour. Each pot is crafted manually, each texture and finish applied by hand. Our glazes are custom-designed for the various collections. Similarly, our zinc and corten steel pieces are assembled on site. This guarantees the quality of each Domani pot – as well as its uniqueness. The character imbedded in a Domani piece gives it not only its tactility, but also a closer connection to those that took part in its creation.
