About

I invite you to discover my art

Transmitting light through objects is my mission, helping to evoke a memory, provoke a smile, or simply delight the glaze. I enjoy experimenting with colors, whether bright, soft, light, or vibrant, creating something pleasant, refined, or exotic. Painting leads to a state of meditation, momentarily shedding all kinds of noise in our minds and connecting with our inner contemplation.

Pia Sanoner - Founder

Elsata began in 2008 as Maria Pia Sanoner's personal project to channel her art.

It started in a small workshop where she handpainted ceramic pieces. It grew year after year, and as she couldn´t find the designs or pieces she wanted to paint.

She began searching for ceramic workshops that could bring her designs to life.

In 2011, she took on a bigger challenge, assembling a team to handle all the stages involved in designing everyday art pieces. The new Elsata workshop includes all the production facilities, design, molding tooling, slip casting, glazing and painting, all done by hand. Elsata grew with a team of excellent people, creative and willing to innovate in every area.

The materials used are lead free and suitable for tableware. Elsata´s products are exclusive because they design absolutely everything, it starts with an idea, an inspiration, then a sketch, and finally all steps are executed in ceramics.

Since 2010, Elsata´s products have been showcased at the international exhibition for manufacters and importers of decoration and related items in Argentina, Cafira Innova. They´ve also participated in NYNow. Currently, they have a client list across Argentina, Neighboring countries and USA.

This includes major textile brands that expanded their vision to home lines developed with Elsata, as well as decoration stores, designers, architects and hotels.
