Aitch

It's hard to say that a Bitossi illustration doesn't transmit an emotion. Its repertoire, in most cases, is cheerful, carrying humor, lightness, and a distinct identity, of those that can be recognized even before identifying the signature.

Behind these illustrations, which have been followed by designers, collectors, and design lovers for years, is Aitch, a Romanian illustrator whose work brings life to the collections we call Funky Table, a graphic celebration that transforms the table into presence and narrative.

Her work is born from hand-drawn sketches, as a primary language and thought. Aitch's trace is intense and generous: saturated colors, fluid forms, hybrid figures, and symbols that mix folklore with contemporary fantasy, without meeting the expectations of realism, and it is precisely there that her strength lies.

In the images that repeat in her collections, exuberant roses, living foliage, creatures that float between the mystical and the human, everything carries a visceral pulse.

It is a visual storytelling that seems to touch on magical memories that we haven't lived yet.

Aitch grew up in Romania in the 1980s with a deep sense of image and narrative. Since childhood, drawing was not only her favorite occupation, but a way to map her inner world, a way to bring to the surface what words cannot reach.

Observation of the folk textiles of her grandmother, family tapestries, colors and patterns of Romanian visual tradition fueled her imagination and, later, translated into an aesthetics that embraces both the popular and the fantastic.

After studying at the University of Timi?oara, Aitch spent years traveling, reinventing her gaze at every new place, until finally arriving in Berlin, a city that marked her first major professional phase. It was there that she adopted the artistic name Aitch, a phonetic variation of her initial, and began signing works that soon attracted attention for their originality.

Her process, quite intuitive, is based on visual research: nature, textures, memories, ancestral narratives, and popular iconographies are gathered in sketchbooks before emerging as full images.

The technique privileges manual gesture: watercolor, ink, and paper are primary tools, digital enters only as the final edit.

When this journey meets Bitossi porcelain, the illustration takes on a new repertoire. Where its vibrant colors and hybrid figures seem to inhabit the pieces with their own energy. Indelible in identity, they become presence, protagonists of the table, provoking conversations, glances, and mystical interpretations.

What makes Aitch's work so singular is the dose of imagination. Her flowers are exuberant, her characters seem to come from reinvented mythologies, her compositions evoke contemporary visual culture, where the mystical meets the funky, creating emotion.

In our curation, Bitossi emerges as a graphic provocation, of stories that have yet to be told. Art, colors, and a renewed state of mind, everything that brings life, color, and a new rhythm to the table.
