Pelle di
luna
Handmade terracotta brick tiles with a light, gently undulating surface created by leaving the upper face exposed to air during drying. This process produces greater oxidation than standard terracotta before each piece is carefully smoothed by hand.

Product Overview
Air-Dried Character, Finished by Hand
Pelle di luna receives its recognizable appearance from the upper surface of each handmade module being left exposed to the air during drying. This creates a lighter tone, increased oxidation and a subtly irregular texture that is then skilfully softened and smoothed by the artisan’s hands.
