02 / The technique

Nerikomi.
The pattern lives
within the clay.

Clays of different colours are brought together and worked as one: the pattern is formed within the clay and runs all the way through it.

Patterns, variations and little details make every creation unrepeatable. This is the heart of Nātūrae ceramics.

Where coffee
meets clay.

Unique cups,
a meeting in Paris.

For CAYO, a coffee shop and roastery in Paris, I created a collection of bespoke nerikomi cups. Different patterns and the CAYO name impressed into the clay make each piece unique, part of a shared story.

The colours echo the coffee shop, while the patterns evoke coffee beans, earthy tones and the landscapes where coffee is grown. Two worlds meeting around the simple gesture of holding a cup.

04 / About me

I’m Alessandra.
I create to make room
for freedom.

Colour, touch and the freedom to create.

My name is Alessandra, and creativity has always been part of my life. I love drawing, making things with my hands and giving ideas room to grow.

I found my way to ceramics almost by chance, wanting to discover something new. Then came classes, my first discoveries and, little by little, that curiosity grew into a passion.

Nerikomi came into my life in much the same way. I fell in love with its slow rhythm, and the patience and care it asks for. It is a precise technique, yet it can still surprise me: clays meet and form patterns that will never be exactly the same again.

Working with coloured clays makes me feel a little like a child again. I can play, experiment and follow my curiosity, without having to decide everything in advance. A little of that freedom remains in every piece.

In a world that moves fast and so often seeks perfection, I like taking the time to create objects that are different, each with its own character. I grow fond of their little imperfections too: they hold the memory of a gesture, a step in the process, the hands that shaped the clay.
