A bit of history:

Arnolfo di Cambio is an Italian company founded in 1960 in Tuscany, specializing in the production of design tableware and home objects. Known for its collaborations with renowned international designers, the brand quickly became a significant name in Italian design during the 1960s-1970s, combining artisanal craftsmanship with modern experimentation.

The “Square” service, produced in the 1970s by Laveno Ravelli for Arnolfo di Cambio and designed by Japanese designer Makio Hasuike, is an icon of table design from the period. Made in black and white glazed ceramic, it is distinguished by its square and rectangular geometric shapes, modularity, and the characteristic black/white contrast typical of Hasuike's minimalist aesthetic.

The service perfectly reflects the spirit of Italian design in the seventies: formal rigor, focus on functionality, and a sculptural approach to everyday objects.

Makio Hasuike was born in 1938 in Tokyo. He has lived and worked in Italy since the 1960s. In 1968, he founded his own design studio in Milan, Makio Hasuike &Co., which quickly became an international reference in industrial, graphic, and strategic design.
