Dora Stanczel / Tiziana Scaciga France
The Micare Obscuro project brings together Franco-Hungarian ceramicist Dora Stanczel and Italian designer Tiziana Scaciga (Pietre Trovanti). Together, they explore the encounter between two contrasting materials: Limoges porcelain, delicate and luminous, and Ossola granite, dense and dark. Their dialogue gives rise to works where lightness responds to mass, transparency to depth, and imperfection to mastery. Micare Obscuro—”shining in the shadows”—interprets the tension between fragility and solidity, between sea and mountain, between art and matter. Presented notably at the Lake Como Design Festival, the project embodies a rare alliance between artisanal expertise, contemporary research, and the poetry of materials. read more
French artist Dora Stanczel, after obtaining a Master’s degree in Arts and Sciences and completing extensive training with some of Europe’s finest porcelain artists, opened her own ceramics studio in La Rochelle in 2015. Since then, she has been developing a distinctive aesthetic language through long experimentation with porcelain. Her refined and luxurious porcelain pieces combine exceptional craftsmanship with unique sophistication.
Originally from Domodossola (Val d’Ossola, Italy), Tiziana Scaciga directs the Pietre Trovanti project, a company founded on the idea of valuing “found stones”—that is, blocks of stone rejected from traditional distribution channels due to defects, irregularities, or breakage. She defines her approach as follows: “Da ogni fine nasce un nuovo inizio” (From every end, a new beginning is born). The materials come from its alpine valley and bear witness to a strong territorial connection (Val d’Ossola, stone extraction since Antiquity).
