Each object carries a piece of my soul.

MARTINA GERONI

HER JOURNEY

Shaped by clay, care and a conscious return to what matters.

Martina Geroni knows what it means to start again.
After building a career in architecture and working in Mexico, she felt the call to create with her hands and to make something she could hold, something real.

In 2018 she returned to Italy and opened her studio, shaping clay into cups, bowls, trays, and alzate that carry both utility and soul.

Rooted in her respect for the environment, Martina works in grès, explores natural clays honoring the raw earth as a building material. Her pieces, defined by clean lines and quiet strength, have found their way into the collections of leading interior brands and onto the tables of Michelin-starred restaurants.

For women who feel the pull toward a truer life, Martina’s story is proof that you can begin again. You can find your balance — between mind and hands, design and nature — and shape a life, and a craft, that holds your soul in every piece.

WHAT SHE CREATES

  • TABLEWARE - EVERYDAY RITUALS

    Everyday objects that invite you to slow down.
    From the morning’s first sip to the quiet rhythm of a shared meal, Martina’s cups, bowls, and plates carry the balance of clean lines and tactile presence. Crafted in grès, each piece holds the warmth of the hands that shaped it.

  • SERVING PIECES

    For moments gathered around the table.
    Trays, platters, and alzate designed to elevate the act of serving. Whether for a simple loaf of bread or a centerpiece of seasonal fruit, these pieces turn the everyday into a small ceremony.

  • DECOR AND FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS

    Objects with presence, meant to live with you.
    Minimalist vases, sculptural centerpieces, and lidded vessels that blend beauty with purpose. Each one is a quiet statement, shaped to bring form and grounding to your spaces.

  • KURINUKI ORIGINALS

    Carved by hand, one cut at a time.
    Unique vessels shaped through the Japanese subtractive technique — each one a study in absence and presence. No two are alike.

  • TEA & COFFEE RITUALS

    Where craft meets ceremony.
    Teapots, gong fu cha sets, mancerine, and specialty cups for brewing and serving with presence. Designed for those moments when time slows and the senses awaken.

  • Hands-on work grounds us. It slows us down. It reconnects us to ourselves. That’s why you see more and more workshops popping up: people want to feel again, touch again. It’s a way to come home.

SIGNATURE PIECE

Angela | A Bowl Made of Memory

Angela appeared almost by surprise — two forms meeting in Martina’s hands, fitting together as if they’d been waiting for each other. She named it after her grandmother, Angela, who always had a bowl of mascarpone in the fridge, ready to serve with cocoa and sugar.

Like her namesake, Angela holds and elevates in the same breath — one moment a vessel, the next a pedestal. It carries the memory of a kitchen where love was quiet but constant, where the simplest gesture could make a moment feel special.

In the Made By Her world, Angela is more than tableware. It is a keeper of presence, a reminder that what we make, and the way we use it, can carry the people and stories that shaped us.

  • There’s something beautiful in watching an object evolve — from soft to firm, from raw to fired. Firing seals it, gives it character. It’s like us. Transformation takes time. We go through breaks, and from those cracks, we become more whole.

SIGNATURE CRAFT

Kurinuki is one of Martina’s favorite techniques: the Japanese method of carving a cup from a single block of clay. It’s a slow, deliberate process of taking away what isn’t needed to reveal what is meant to stay. The marks of each cut remain visible, making every piece unique and unrepeatable.

For Martina, it’s more than a method. It’s a reminder that growth often comes from letting go, from removing what no longer serves us. Each finished piece carries that truth, shaped by patience, guided by the hands and defined by what is left behind.

See why this technique holds a special place in Martina’s work.
