Lladró: the alchemy between porcelain poetry and exceptional design
A prestigious brand within Pacific Compagnie's offering, Lladró is a legendary Spanish manufacturer that, for over seven decades, has been transforming porcelain into a living, emotional and resolutely contemporary material. Founded in 1953 under the impetus of the Lladró brothers in the Valencia region, the house has elevated a small family workshop to the status of a global icon of artistic porcelain, renowned for the finesse and singularity of its creations. Beyond its technical mastery, the brand embodies a true art of living where beauty, creativity and consciousness unite to breathe a soul into the most refined interiors.
The soul of Lladró lies in its exceptional savoir-faire: each work is entirely sculpted, painted and assembled by hand by expert artists in the unique workshop of Tavernes Blanques. This rare level of craftsmanship produces porcelain of remarkable purity, capable of capturing meticulous details and subtle colours that have earned the brand its international renown. Today, under the aegis of dialogue between tradition and modernity, Lladró collaborates with renowned designers such as Jaime Hayon and Marcel Wanders to give birth to iconic pieces that push the boundaries of modern design. Faithful to the Slow Design philosophy, the house values time and sustainability, placing human skill and the transmission of knowledge at the heart of its ethos.
