The company’s assets are conserved at the Bitossi Industrial Archive which protects the historical heritage of the ceramic know-how and its manufacturing. The Fifties and Sixties collections presented by Bitossi refer to the original items preserved in the Historical Archive; the iconic models of Aldo Londi are a significant part of it, still revealing in the present day great creativity and state-of-the-art design. As with all the ceramic pieces part of the Historical Archive, each piece is handcrafted and faithfully reproduces the original in both shape and colour.
