Onoto is a line of ceramic objects designed to enhance our lives. Its designs provide beauty as well as meaning to our human rituals, by addressing function and aesthetics at the same time, thus providing pleasure and an opportunity to play. Onoto’s designers align their design process with values that are important to them such as sharing with others and caring for ourselves and for the environment, attempting to create designs that go beyond personal needs and become part of the culture.
This approach to design will hopefully lead to authentic and memorable living moments.
