Hey, I’m Daria Dazzan

Handmade Ceramics Master and Design Artisan  

I’m a European designer and artist driven by a passion for blending tradition with innovation to create unique handmade ceramics. 

With a background from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and over a decade of experience in the fashion industry, working with prestigious fashion brands like Versace, Hussein Chalayan, and Balmain, I’ve developed a deep interest and respect for craftsmanship.

My journey led me to create a personal project that celebrates craftsmanship, sustainability, and creative expression through natural materials and traditional techniques. 

In 2021, I founded "MANI MILANO LAB" in Milan, an inclusive space where I create and teach the art of design and handmade ceramics, while celebrating artisanal skills and promoting ethical and sustainable practices.

Shaping Beauty, One Creation at a Time

My art tells a story

Every piece I create is a celebration of timeless craftsmanship with a modern edge, influenced by a lifelong passion for creating beauty from raw materials. 

Getting inspiration and collaborating with artisans from around the world, I combine traditional techniques with a contemporary approach, resulting in a collection that stands for unicity, individuality, color expression and decoration.

Each piece carries with it a story of passion, quality, and sustainability—values I hold dear in every step of the process.

My work

Where the hands start moving with grace and the mind finds peace and fullfilment, here is where everything begins, and a new story is shaped. The magic of ceramics starts unfolding, nourished by passion, creativity and mastery, and turns into something special, one move at a time.
