Deborah

Deborah is part of a collection inspired by mid-twentieth century atmospheres and the glamor of the film stars of that period. This porcelain figurine takes her name from the protagonist of the film “Once Upon a Time in America” and her aesthetics refer to the independence of this character: she is wearing a butter-colored dress, marked by a brown print on the skirt and a warm orange lapel crossed on the chest. The figure is strongly characterized, however, by the large hat inclined on the left of the head, which shades the face and covers the hair gathered in a long lateral chignon.
Deborah is sitting on an oval stool in an olive green color and seems ready to get up to start one of her thousand projects, with her bright gaze wide open on her future.

Every product created by Sibania is unique both concerning the realization process of every single piece and the production technology, which boasts its being inimitable by others. Each item is hand made and hand painted in our workshop, set in Vicenza (Italy). All clothes are made of thin, porcelain layers on which different kinds of textures are impressed. These layers are cutted according to the characteristics of every single template. They are successively carefully applied on the figurine body. Hairstyles are also handcrafted depending on each figurine’s unique features. Faces, clothes and accessories are painted on the biscuit with non-toxic colors. The piece is eventually baked one last time (“third firing”). Any additional details such as violin strings or the Vespa kickstands are then applied on the finished piece.
