BIRNE is a line of porcelain objects by ceramist Massimo Pavan. The aesthetics aims at a meticulous repetition of lines and simple forms in limited pieces and variations. A quiet reflection on simplicity and deep attention to details distinguish his practice. Each piece is wheel-thrown.

Understanding the process

The process is of fundamental importance in Massimo’s work. Working with such a delicate material such as porcelain requires precision in each stage of the making, from throwing to firing. The essential qualities of the final product are hopefully a mean to draw attention back to the process.

About Massimo Pavan

Massimo Pavan is a ceramist. His practice splits in two main directions. One of a more artistic and research intent. The other functional and more commercial, yet of a very small and quality production, which was developed a little more than a year ago, named BIRNE. Every aspect of his activity, from designing, to making and selling is personally taken care of.
