NATURAL MATERIAL

The Mateus collections are made from a fine-grained, natural clay extracted from the soil in the central and northern parts of Portugal. In order for the clay to be transformed into ceramics, it is ground and mixed with pure water. The making of ceramics is a craft that takes great skill and experience.

SUSTAINABLE
PRODUCTS

Mateus take great care to make sustainable choices in every step of the production. Perhaps the most important one in the long term is about design. You may fall in love with a single perfect cup or a beautiful set of tableware. Whatever is your favorite, you can always add others to create your own personal Mateus collection. There are no rules and no limitations because all new products from Mateus are designed to match existing collections. Loving and using them everyday is sustainable in a longer perspective – for you, your loved ones and for generations to come.
