Spoga+gafa 2026 was an opportunity to embrace the true value of relationships — both with the people we cross paths with professionally and those that blossom between companies that share the same vision.
We wanted our stand to feel warm and inviting, blending terracotta, light, greenery, and subtle details that evoke the comfort of an Italian home.
For us, welcoming people isn’t just an afterthought. The best relationships begin by creating an open space where everyone feels free to explore, ask questions, and share their point of view.
Our pots tell this story, too. They combine ancient materials with unmistakable Italian style, but above all, they have a unique way of transforming spaces — making them feel more lived-in, deeply personal, and truly connected to the people who inhabit them.
When art sparks conversation
The artworks on display at our stand told the story of our pots through diverse creative lenses. They also served as an open invitation to speak about collaboration: the value of ideas taking shape, intersecting visions, and how simplicity can make room for connection.
Those who stopped by discovered a piece they could relate to or an eye-catching detail that sparked an exchange of thoughts and stories, culminating in a small gift to commemorate the encounter.
We believe these moments are invaluable: they offer a chance to understand what our clients truly need and how we can better support their work. Because our commitment doesn’t stop at the delivery of our pots — it thrives over time through partnership and mutual growth.
More than a pot
While in Cologne, we also launched the third issue of our magazine, More than a pot.
This project continues to grow because it reflects our core philosophy: connecting people, ideas, places, and inspiration. We don’t just focus on pots; we explore everything that can be created around them.
The magazine offers a dedicated space for connection and inspiration — a place where nature, design, community, and collaboration converge to foster new perspectives.
Corte Italia: our first steps together
The very same trust we have in relationships formed the foundation of Corte Italia.
This unique collective brought together premier Italian companies embodying the essence of garden design and craftsmanship for contemporary outdoor environments.
In collaboration with other brands, we helped shape the project, and spoga+gafa 2026 marked its official international debut. It represents a shared journey that connects diverse expertise, aiming to cultivate new horizons for the entire industry.
We believe this is exactly what the future demands: more open dialogue, closer partnerships, and a stronger ability to champion what brings us together.
This is the awareness with which we have returned from Cologne, rich with new relationships we look forward to nurturing.
