Description
Bitossi has been producing the Rimini Blu series for 60 years – a true touchstone of Italian home interiors, each piece from the collection is handmade by skilled craftspeople in Italy according to heritage techniques.
The series was originally designed by Aldo Londi, who used to fill his pockets with little implements like wires, screws and nails to produce their intricately imprinted detailing. This ceramic Seated Cat figure is treated with a vibrantly glossy blue glaze – an eye-catching piece for a bookshelf, desk or side table.
