SLOWTILE, HANDMADE TILES FROM TUSCANY, ITALY

“Slow Tile” is a project born in Florence from the work of the “lateral creatives” of the Social Cooperative Made in Sipario Onlus in collaboration with experts in ceramics and design such as architect Leone Pecchioli and scenographer Perla Gianni Falvo.

Made in Sipario Social Cooperative Onlus was founded in 2011 to offer disabled people a real opportunity for social and working integration, and as a social enterprise makes use of work as a tool for promoting equal opportunities and human dignity. Over the years, it has developed an innovative business idea by combining business skills / needs with social objectives and becoming a qualified production reality, ready to respond to market needs in an adequate and competitive way.

“Made In Sipario” is today a real, dynamic and productive laboratory of artistic craftsmanship, where market rules and solidarity coexist and are strengthened and where the biggest challenge always remains “being able to achieve economic sustainability” ( together with the formative challenge of course!). This is why “SLOW TILE” project was born which, opening us to new and innovative ways to stay on the marketplace, will certainly help us to offer new job opportunities both to disabled people already included in the laboratory and to others and not only disabled people. We will thus be able to realize our dream: to have a world in which diversity is known, welcomed, valued, a world of men and women animated by hope and trust in the future, with the will to do their part to build a piece of it.
