Luca Small Plate, Set of 4
These PORTA-designed plates reinterpret the iconic Palio horse race for contemporary living. Drawing from traditional motifs, we stripped away figurative elements to create a more restrained, abstract design that maintains the race's vibrant spirit. Each piece is hand-painted in one of the city's last traditional workshops, bringing centuries of craftsmanship to the modern table.

About the Maker
Dating back to the Middle Ages, the Palio horse race is an amalgamation of complex events, traditions, and customs that have amassed over centuries and serve as the social bedrock of the city. Each of Siena’s city districts (or Contrade) is named after an animal or symbol with a long history and complicated heraldic and semi-mythological associations. This collection is produced by a family run business founded in Siena. They come from a long line of artisans and craftsmen dating back to 1450, who made armor, coats of arms, and flags. The studio is one of the last that produces handmade, traditional Sienese artisanal pieces.
