Porcelain figurine of a child sitting on a brown armchair. He is wearing a salmon colored sweatshirt with a diamond decoration on front, white shorts and a light colored scarf. He looks lazily at the book on his legs, open on a poem by Dino Campana entitled La Chimera: “Vegliai le stelle vivide nei pelaghi del cielo, \/ io per il tuo dolce mistero \/ io per il tuo divenir taciturno. \/ Non so se la fiamma pallida \/ fu dei capelli il vivente \/ segno del suo pallore, \/ non so se fu un dolce vapore, \/ dolce sul mio dolore, \/ sorriso di un volto notturno: \/ guardo le bianche rocce le mute fonti dei venti \/ e l\u2019immobilit\u00e0 dei firmamenti \/ e i gonfii rivi che vanno…”. (Kept watch over the bright stars in the oceans of the sky,\/I for your sweet mystery\/I for your silent becoming.\/I do not know if the pale flame\/Of her hair was the living\/Sign of her pallor,\/I do not know if it was a sweet vapor,\/Sweet on my sorrow,\/Smile of a nocturnal face:\/I gaze at the white rocks the mute sources of the winds\/And the stillness of the firmaments\/And the swollen rivers that go on weeping…”). [Trans. by Luigi Bonaffini, “Campana, Dino. Canti orfici. Orphic Songs”]

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
