Story
Ceramics in the Poliform catalogue
Poliform says the innovation of Azu lies in the choice to enhance the materiality of ceramics, a new material in its catalogue but one that is perfectly in line with its lifestyle concept.
Contemporary with an artisan touch
The page ties that concept to contemporaneity that is never disconnected from the artisan touch. It adds that Azu is made using single-firing and is characterised by a glossy effect finish.
