Piqué by Estudi{H}ac: when the fashion of the 18th century is woven with avant-garde ceramics.

José Manuel Ferrero founded estudi{H}ac in 2003 so that he could bring to life all the ideas that kept buzzing round in his head. In the space of just 18 years, the design studio has become a leading reference in Spain and abroad. 

estudi{H}ac specializes in bespoke product designs and creative concepts for projects. 

Each project starts out with an initial concept. This is then developed by José Manuel Ferrero and his team, combining full creative freedom with the assurance of commercial viability. All projects by estudi{H}ac share two common denominators: colour and simplicity of shape and texture.  

PIQUÉ, a new collection for HARMONY by José Manuel Ferrero from design studio estudi{H}ac, is inspired by an 18th century mechanized technique for weaving double cloth with a heavy cording weft. Fabric textures and a search for a geometrical design that can be broken down in layers to facilitate a study of 3D volumes were both drawn upon in the creation of this 20x40 tile collection. Relief patterns are contrasted with textures in a collection in shades of Anthracite, Bordeaux, Sand and White, whose models range from realistic reproductions of fabric textures to upside-down 3D mosaics. Piqué also includes two other formats (10x10 and 10x40) that can be combined with the 20x40 models to create interplay between light and shade so as to highlight the relief pattern.

In addition, the collection is made with Deep Tech technology, allowing us to make reliefs with a level of depth that does not exist to date in the industrialized ceramic production process.

This new technology provides a greater definition of the volumes, allowing greater distance between planes within the piece and opens up a universe of decorative possibilities.

A collection designed with textures and three-dimensional effects that leave us with wonderful compositions like these.
