Bosa is an Italian ceramics studio founded in 1976 by Italo Bosa in Borso del Grappa, in the Veneto region. The location was no coincidence: it brings together the rich ceramic tradition of Bassano, Venice’s cosmopolitan spirit, and Asolo’s pioneering approach to innovation. From the beginning, Italo Bosa placed traditional handcraft, a rich colour palette, and decoration with precious metals—gold, platinum, and copper—at the heart of the company.
Bosa describes itself as a “laboratory of ceramic excellence” that has redefined the codes of ceramics through a new emotional language. Its philosophy is rooted in constant experimentation with the possibilities of the material: transforming familiar forms and functions into new interpretations, uses, and fantastical worlds. The brand takes on “almost impossible” projects, creating pieces with complex shapes and in large dimensions. Every object is made entirely by hand using traditional ceramic techniques. Plaster moulds allow for meticulous control over each design, and once removed from the mould, every piece is hand-painted. Bosa decorates its creations with precious metals and exclusive enamels developed in-house.
Bosa works closely with emerging European designers who are exploring new creative languages—a collaboration that has helped establish the brand’s high-end positioning. Its partners include Jaime Hayon, creator of numerous “joyful universes”; Elena Salmistraro, Patricia Urquiola, Satyendra Pakhale, Nika Zupanc, Luca Nichetto, and Marc Sadler. Bosa also collaborates with companies such as Minotti, Moroso, B&B Italia, and Baccarat, and creates bespoke pieces for Ferrari, Escada, and De Beers.
Bosa is a regular exhibitor at Salone del Mobile in Milan and Maison&Objet in Paris. In 2026, the brand celebrates its 50th anniversary with an extensive programme during Milan Design Week. Highlights include FLORESTA FUTURISTICA, a multisensory installation by Matteo Cibic in the secret garden of Senato Hotel Milano, featuring monumental flowers and totemic plants; a limited edition of 50 numbered Cafuné objects; and special reissues of historic collections. Bosa’s work is held in prestigious museums around the world, and the company is present in more than 50 countries.
