What Makes the Lycian Collection Unique?
Rooted in History
The Lycian Collection is inspired by the pottery techniques of Ancient Lycia, a civilization known for its artistic innovation and mastery. From symbolic motifs to classic forms, each piece carries the cultural richness of the Mediterranean and speaks to the artistic legacy of this ancient people.
Crafted with Local Elements
While some items are crafted using the earth of Lycia, others incorporate the spirit of this land through local organic elements like flora, feathers from indigenous birds, and other natural materials used in the smoke-firing process. This signature method, unique to Qi Studio, creates textures and tones that resonate with the timeless beauty of the Lycian region. Each piece emerges with its own distinct texture and hues, making it truly one of a kind.
Handmade Elegance
Each item in the collection is meticulously crafted by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are alike. Thanks to the smoke-firing technique, every piece is a singular work of art, bearing the unique marks of the firing process.
