ALL IS CALM, ALL IS BRIGHT 
"At the table" is the place to be during the Holidays 

Christmas is a feeling… and we celebrate it at the table. Let it be merry and bright. 

WHITE AND RED. TIMELESS AND TRADITIONAL. MEET OUR BEJA COLLECTION WITH A NEW RED RIMMED.

Spring has bloom.
Now, more than ever is time to find beauty and wisdom in the small things. To seek inspiration. To use our time to love and be creative. To live.
Because LIFE is a GIFT from mother nature.
For this new season, we unveil our new colletion of #inspirebynature GIFT SETS.
Each set of these accent plates come with 4 different designs, meant for layering with other neutral tableware collections.
Unique, inspiring patterns to create a completely new look for each occasion.

Fine stoneware. Made in Portugal.
Patterns available (set of 4 salad/dessert plates): Algarve, Lamego, Lisboa and Lomo.

Sourced from the surplus of our own factory production, PLANO is the first recycled collection by COSTA NOVA. 
All COSTA NOVA collections are produced with respect for nature - reusable and recyclable. PLANO goes even further ahead, telling a unique story of how tableware can be made of recycled materials, completely eco-friendly, while remaining beautiful and functional at the same time. 
PLANO presents a distinctive organic shape, combining rawness embodied in a clean, strong look. In a reminiscence of the old hand-turned studio pottery, these unique, high-quality manufactured pieces, are designed and curated to be part of unforgettable moments at the table. 

About Eco-Gres ® 
Eco- Gres® is a registered trademark of Grestel. Products under this label are guaranteed to be made of non-hazardous recycled materials, derived from ceramic surplus and other additives. 
All Eco-Gres® products are guaranteed to be food-safe, complying with the International Standards. 
In addition, Eco-Gres® is in line with the European directives 2006/12/CE and 2008/98/CE, oriented toward transforming the EU into a «recycling society». This trademark is a result of years of an internal investigation, in collaboration with a local university (Universidade de Aveiro), and the result is an upgraded (recycled) raw material that presents several advantages to the environment: 
 Natural Resources Preservation – by the reduction in the extraction volume of natural raw materials; 
 Energy Efficiency – reduced ecological footprint; 
 Health and Safety –reduction of waste otherwise disposed of in a landfill

The Process - Collect and Recycle 
Grestel sees its products and operations as part of a long-life cycle and is committed to taking better care of the community and of the world. 
In this commitment to sustainability, Grestel is developing a new raw material, by collecting, recycling and reusing clays and glazes from its own operations and other materials. 
The result is Eco-Gres®, a reinvented clay, made of recycled materials and completely eco-friendly.

How is Eco-Gres® made 
The Eco-Gres® production process begins by collecting clay waste from our factory and combining it with other materials in order to stabilize the final composition. 
The recycled clay represents approximately 25% of all clay purchased from external suppliers. Finally, Eco-Gres® consists of 90% recycled materials and other substances. 
The process of converting these surpluses into Eco-Gres® involves a set of sequential steps: 
Mixing the products → sieve → homogenization & stabilization → sieve → filter-pressing → shredding → extrusion → shaping → drying → glazing → firing 
In the end, a homogeneous and flexible clay body is obtained, ready to be (re) used in Grestel’s production line. 
The whole process takes place within the same factory, also contributing to the reduction of our carbon footprint.

This Holiday Season, COSTA NOVA unveils the new campaign "Iconic Momentos - A season to remember". 

The table is the heart of the holiday season. Fill it with love, joy and elegant tableware. To create a magical and elegant holiday table, we find inspiration on LUZIA. 
The glow of the Luzia collection is inspired by the “golden hour,” that time of day when the sun is almost touching the horizon and the light softens every color. This collection is both casual and sophisticated, and is guaranteed to be a charming choice for any modern table setting or festive table. 

This Fall, COSTA NOVA unveils the new campaign "Time by your side", bringing us back to the comfort and warmth of our homes.
Fall is the season for new beginnings and a sense of renewal. The season to live our home and spend more time as a family, collecting memories.

This campaign highlights LAGOA, a versatile collection that offers the perfect balance between contemporary style and durability.
Perfectly imperfect in shape and naturally tactile, this collection pairs elements of artisanal feel with modern finishes, a trend so popular nowadays.
The soft matte beige glaze is a must-have set for everyday meals, while the dark metallic finish effortlessly enhances your own personal style in any occasion.

This Summer, COSTA NOVA unveils a new campaign. "SUMMER BREEZE – LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE" is inspired by the Summer lifestyle we all dream of: Summer is the time to slow down, to reconnect with nature and to live the best moments of our lives. Always surrounded by family and friends.

This campaign highlights BRISA, a new tableware collection inspired by the warm breeze that blows from the east and imbues the Algarve coast with fruity aromas and the fresh flavors of Ria Formosa.

The blended white and blue glazes and organic shapes transport us to the intricate landscape of lagoons, canals, salt works, and sandy beaches stretching across deserted islands.
This collection adds light to every gathering and turns any table into a memorable experience.

The brand relocated its showroom to feature an expanded product offering, moving from the #C139 to #C123.

 The additional area of space allows for the addition of new products from COSTA NOVA and a new Hospitality section, as well as expanded collections from CASAFINA and Portus Cale (a recent partnership of Portuguese home fragrances and soaps).

 “We are thrilled to continue to grow our presence at the Las Vegas Market.  The additional space allows us to expand our presentations of all three brands and also feature our new hospitality collections, a sales channel we are aggressively pursuing," said Matt Hullfish, National Sales Manager.

 The official opening of the new showroom will be on July 28^th, when the Las Vegas Summer show takes place.

THE GARDEN – LIFE IN FULL BLOOM was the slogan chosen for the campaign, which reminds us of the arrival of Spring and all the sensations it awakens.

"There is no better time than Spring. When life lives in everything and everywhere, including our home. We decorate our tables with flowers, put plants in our vases and let nature alive."

The campaign matches with the launch of the new collection of decorative pieces LE JARDIN, designed in partnership with the French floral designer Christian Tortu. This is the first COSTA NOVA collection composed exclusively of decorative pieces, an eclectic mix of original silhouettes and glazes capable of surprising decorative effects, with or without flowers.

All the products are already available online and in stores (Lisboa and Aveiro, Portugal).

New year, new inspiring collections to share with you at the major stages in the USA. 
It would be a great pleasure to meet you again and show you at first hand our latest additions in tableware, accessories and home décor.

Founded in 2003 by Creative Director Eileen Johnson, FlowerSchool New York is the most prestigious center for the floral arts in New York City. This collaboration is also extended to Flower School Los Angeles. The partnership reflects our love for table floral design and aims to increase the exchange of ideas and expertise. LA and NYC students will now have the opportunity to create beautiful table decorations using a wide selection of COSTA NOVA tableware and decorative pieces.

MoxxieMade is a series of intimate New York City events that brings together a community of women that support one another to courageously go after their definition of fulfillment. As a female-forward brand, COSTA NOVA embraces the MoxxieMade cause and believes in the mission of giving all women a «special seat» at a table. Inspired by shared values, these two brands decided they were the perfect match, and this is why they partnered for all seven MoxxieMade events that will take place in NYC this year. The kick-off event on June 26 gathered a group of influential attendees, brand influencers, and speakers (such as Alyssa Brieloff, Lauren Blodgett or Madeleine Hemingway), around a beautifully decorated table at DeMaria, in Downtown NYC. The center of all attention was, of course, COSTA NOVA’s Village collection that added an even more delicate yet powerful touch to the event. On July 24th, the next MoxxieMade Supper Series kicks off with an amazing panel of wellness self-love experts on the topic of Strengthen your Core (aka your https://www.moxxiemade.com
