Golden light, ochre-colored houses, the sound of shoes on the cobblestones. We arrived in Bisbal d'Empordà like this: tired, but with eyes bright. The air smelled of earth and enamel, while the sun filtered through the branches and danced on the ceramics hanging on the walls.
It was the second stop on our summer trip between Provence and the Catalan coast. A stop we sought out, not for the tourist attractions, but for something deeper: finding objects that tell a story, objects that can only be taken away by those who know how to listen.
Beyond the shop windows
Bisbal doesn't show himself to those in a hurry. He doesn't have cover-worthy monuments. But he does have something rare: a soul.
We walked along the main street, where the true treasures are hidden behind faded shop windows, in half-empty secondhand shops, in workshops with open doors. Ceramics here aren't "products." They're memories, they're hands. They're stories.
And it was right there, far from the beaten track, that we found what we were looking for without knowing it.
The glance
We were already in the car, ready to leave. Then, a shop window.
A corner of color. Geometric lines, clean shapes, deep glazes. We slowed down. We turned back. And in that moment, everything made sense.
Those objects seemed to speak to us. They were the same shapes you find today in our Geometric Decorations collection. An inspiration born by chance, or perhaps from an encounter written along our path.
From Bisbal to your home
We chose them one by one. Looking at them, touching them, imagining them already in the homes of those who love design, balance, and materials.
Now they're on VICODE. But for us, they remain tied to that light, to that moment. To that curve in the car that changed our journey.
We left a piece of our heart in Bisbal d'Empordà.
And perhaps, browsing our collection, you will find it too.
