Overview

The Sicily Vase collection is the result of the creative collaboration between celebrated British- Israeli chef Yotam Ottolenghi and his good friend, artist Ivo Bisignano, featuring four exuberant hand- painted ceramic vases. With the Sicily vase collection, they journey from the table to the outside. "In Sicily, where I grew up, you eat at the kitchen table while enjoying the view of the colorful balconies with their magnificent flowers’, says Ivo Bisignano. Sicily captures Ottolenghi’s exuberant cooking style and is simultaneously an ode to the sun, colors and passion of Bisignano’s birthplace.

Serax Philosophy is to look for beauty everyday, “to bring the good things that make life worth living, the things that create a home that inspires happiness”, to offer products that have soul. Every collection is crafted traditionally.

Yotam Ottolenghi & Ivo Bisignano

Yotam Ottolenghi is the owner and chef of six London-based delis and restaurants. He is the author of eight best-selling cookery books, including renowned titles as Plenty, Jerusalem and Simple. Amongst several prizes, Yotam won two James Beard awards in the US and the UK National Book Award. Yotam has been a weekly columnist for the Saturday Guardian for over thirteen years and is a regular contributor to The New York Times. His commitment to the championing of vegetables, as well as ingredients once seen as "exotic" has led to what some call “The Ottolenghi effect”. This is shorthand for the creation of a meal which is full of colour, flavour, bounty and sunshine. Originally from Sicily, and trained as an architect, Ivo Bisignano is an artist with many different souls. Beginning with fashion illustration for brands like Prada, Missoni and Fratelli Rossetti early in his career, he has gone on to make significant contributions in media ranging from sculpture to painting to video and animation. With an often surrealistic atmosphere, Bisignano’s art is also imbued with a strong sense of play and irony, evoking an aesthetic of past and highly detailed worlds. In 2020 Bisignano exhibited sculptural works in the Human Forms exhibition located at the Bet Guvrin caves in Israel. Bisignano’s meeting and subsequent work with renowned chef Yotam Ottolenghi has led to the realization of numerous collaborative projects, including sculptures for Ottolenghi’s London restaurants.
