Our products are created in close cooperation with small manufacturers from Portugal. If you would like to find out more about our producers, you can find more information here.

Sustainability is very important to us. Our rugs are woven from fabric remnants from the Portuguese fashion industry, the clay for our ceramics comes from the region where our potteries are located and is a purely natural product. We see fair trade with our producers and transparency as a basic requirement. Production within the EU guarantees short delivery routes with lower CO2 emissions. We ship our products completely plastic-free. We only use FSC-certified paper as packaging material. We also reuse parcels from returns and from our producers. We send our parcels with DHL GoGreen to support CO2-neutral shipping. As our products are timeless in quality and design, they are inherently more sustainable than anything that is produced to be thrown away quickly. We see the careful use of our planet's resources as our duty and we are trying to become even better in the future.

Our ceramics are manufactured in factories in Portugal, the raw material is a purely natural product and comes from the region. We use stoneware for our ceramic tableware collections (Traditional, Classic and Aberta). Stoneware is fired at a temperature of at least 1,130 degrees in order to maintain its specific density and therefore robustness. Our products are therefore impermeable to water even without a glaze. As stoneware is a natural product and each batch has a different composition, our unglazed products made of pure clay may vary slightly in color - naturally. 

We develop our glazes in collaboration with our own manufacturer in order to create typical tones that fit perfectly into our onomao color world. there are a number of ways to apply the glazes. The ceramic is either dipped or dipped, painted or sprayed. In all variants, the colors are applied by hand and the firing process fuses the glaze with the ceramic, giving it a resistant surface. we regularly have our glazes tested by TÜV or other independent institutes. This enables us to rule out the possibility that they contain substances that are harmful to health or the environment.
