Poemi

We are Alexandra and Florin, two young people who embarked on a remarkable journey into the world of ceramics driven by our love for craftsmanship and beauty. Back in 2016, with no prior experience in pottery, we commenced a self-taught adventure that has transformed our lives and ignited a passion within us that continues to burn bright. We learned all by ourselves for two years, we honed our skills, pushing ourselves to unravel the mysteries of ceramics. With each clay-soaked day, we deepened our understanding of this exquisite art form. We learned to blend creativity with functionality and durability, transforming raw materials into timeless pieces that captivate the eye and enchant the senses. Over the past years, we have had the privilege of designing numerous custom tableware projects for both local and international restaurants. We have embraced the opportunity to educate consumers about the importance of choosing sustainable, simple, and durable ceramics for their homes. POEMI has a commitment to quality, aesthetics and particularly, to sustainability. In an effort to minimize waste, we recycle all the leftover stoneware during the production process and we repurpose it to make new pieces and glazes. In order to create unique and stunning textures, we integrate another reclaimed element to some of our glazes, which is the wood ash, that we collect from our community. The color of this organic glaze is unique and might change from time to time, due to its reclaimed components. ZeRaw tag, derived from "zero"(zero waste) and "raw"(the texture of the glaze with wood ash), highlights the products that feature this unique reclaimed glaze. ZeRaw embodies our sustainable practices, transforming waste into beautiful, ever-evolving pieces.
