The Cactus, Sacred Heart & Lobster: The Symbols Behind Our Mini Ceramica Canvases

The Cactus, Sacred Heart & Lobster: The Symbols Behind Our Mini Ceramica Canvases

Some pieces don't need to be large to make an impression. Our newest additions to the Ceramica series are small — just 10 x 10 cm — but each one is hand-moulded in clay before being painted in a bold, saturated colour, so the texture catches the light no matter where you place it.

Three motifs run through this set: the cactus, the sacro cuore (sacred heart), and the lobster. Each one carries its own quiet meaning, repeated across a Mediterranean-bright palette — pink, orange, red, blue — so no two walls end up looking the same.


✦ Cactus — Resilience in Bloom

There's something quietly beautiful about a plant that thrives where almost nothing else will. The cactus motif is a nod to resilience — to holding your shape and still finding a way to flower, even in the driest conditions. It's a piece for anyone who's grown through something hard and come out steadier for it.

Available in: Cactus Rosa Grande • Cactus Blu


♥ Sacred Heart — Worn on the Outside

The sacred heart has appeared in devotional art for centuries — a heart made visible, flames and all, as a symbol of love held openly rather than kept hidden. Our version keeps that spirit: a small, unmistakable emblem of devotion, gratitude, and love worn without apology.

Available in: Sacro Cuore Rosso Grande • Sacro Cuore Arancia • Sacro Cuore Rosa Grande

Lobster Rosso Grande — a red ceramic lobster emblem on canvas, handmade in our London studio

🦞 Lobster — Coastal Joy

Bright, a little cheeky, and unmistakably Mediterranean — the lobster motif brings a coastal, celebratory energy to the collection. It's the piece with the most personality: a symbol of abundance, seaside summers, and not taking everything too seriously.

Available in: Lobster Rosso Grande


A Palette Inspired by the Mediterranean

Each motif repeats across a handful of colourways — deep navy, burnt orange, hot pink, cobalt blue, red — pulled from the same Mediterranean palette that runs through everything we make. Grouped together, they read like a little gallery wall in miniature; alone, each one holds its own as a small, sculptural accent.
