Interior Decor in Buenos Aires — Handmade Ceramic Design Objects
Interior decor in Buenos Aires has access to everything: designer furniture, quality textiles, careful lighting. What is scarce are objects with a genuine identity of their own — those pieces that don't explain themselves but make everything else find its place. Fernando Durao produces exactly that: design objects in handmade stoneware ceramics, one of a kind, artist-made, handmade in Buenos Aires since 1990.
The object missing from your interior
There are spaces that are well resolved in every way — and yet something is missing. That something is almost never more furniture. It is an object with visual weight, with texture, with character. A decorative studio ceramic vase in the right corner reorganizes how a whole room reads, without anyone being able to say exactly why.
Fernando Durao's pieces work this way. They don't compete with the architecture or the furniture — they enhance it. They are design objects with a presence of their own: studied proportions, hand-textured surfaces, finishes in stoneware fired at 1200°C (2192°F) that can't be replicated in a series.
Handmade stoneware ceramics: the material that makes the difference
In interior decor, the material matters as much as the form. Stoneware is a high-temperature ceramic clay body: denser, nobler, with a weight and a resonance that common ceramics cannot achieve. Vitrified at 1200°C (2192°F), it has a tactile presence that industrial materials cannot imitate.
Fernando Durao works stoneware with glazes of his own formula — combinations of oxides and minerals that produce unique matte, satin or glossy finishes. Each piece is unrepeatable in its surface too, not just in its form.
Three collections for different interior styles
Unikas Black — modern black vases with brush textures. For interiors with a restrained palette where one object defines the room: living room, entryway, bookcases, etc. The black piece that anchors the space.
Unikas Quartz — handmade ceramics in white with a quartz finish, mineral and tactile. The choice of architects and interior designers for minimalist decor projects. It converses effortlessly with linen, light wood, exposed concrete and natural stone.
Moradores — abstract figures with a human form, in stoneware. For the corner that needs more than decoration — an object with history, with expressive charge, with the ability to start a conversation.
For architects and interior designers
Fernando Durao works with architecture studios and interior decorators in Buenos Aires who are looking for studio ceramic pieces for high-end residential projects. Communication is direct — no gallery, no middlemen. You can ask about availability, dimensions and collections for a specific project.
Durao pieces are never restocked: once a work is sold, it is not repeated. That makes them especially suitable for projects where the exclusivity of the space matters.
Minimalist decor: fewer objects, better chosen
The dominant trend in Buenos Aires interior design in 2026 is warm minimalism — clear spaces with few objects, but each one chosen with precision. In that context, a single piece of handmade stoneware ceramics can do all the work: it introduces natural texture, vertical scale, a focal point that gives depth to the room.
A decorative vase 50 or 60 cm (23.6 in) tall in studio ceramics is not an accessory — it is a design decision. And in a well-resolved interior, that decision shows.
