In the scenic Venetian countryside, under the noble peaks of Mount Grappa, lies Borso del Grappa—a town synonymous with ceramic excellence thanks to Bosa, a globally renowned industry leader founded in 1976 by Italo Bosa. This region, rich in ceramic traditions and influenced by Venice’s cosmopolitan culture, provided the perfect backdrop for Bosa’s inception. The company quickly distinguished itself by combining age-old handcrafting techniques with modern innovations, using a rich palette of colours and precious metals like gold, platinum, and copper.
Bosa’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation is evident in its unique ceramic pieces that beautifully meld function with art. Led by Italo and now his daughters Francesca and Daniela, Bosa transforms ceramics into fantastical creations that challenge traditional uses and inspire the design community. The company’s collaborations with famed designers and prestigious firms have solidified its status in Italian and international markets.
Today, Bosa’s pieces are showcased in over 50 countries and featured in the most prestigious museums and exhibitions, continually reinforcing its position as a beacon of innovation and quality in the design world. Browse the Bosa collection
