Paola Paronetto blends ancient ceramic traditions with contemporary expression, rooted in her lifelong passion for clay and the poetry of imperfection.

Born in Pordenone, Italy in 1965, Paola Paronetto began her artistic journey through deep exploration of traditional ceramic techniques in Umbria and Tuscany.

Paola Paronetto transformed the traditional world of ceramics by embracing paper clay — a unique material that gives her creations their distinctive lightness, texture, and organic character.

Every creation is individually shaped by hand, celebrating natural irregularities and the beauty of imperfection as a philosophy where form, texture, and color unite as a unique artistic statement.

Introduced in the early 2000s, the Cartocci collection represents Paola's signature artistic language — inspired by folded paper forms, combining elegance, simplicity, and expressive movement.

Paola Paronetto's creations exist at the intersection of contemporary art and luxury design, becoming a source of inspiration for architects, interior designers, and collectors worldwide.
