Once upon a time, the Spanish journalist Nuria Roca Granell hosted a morning radio show called "Lo Mejor Que Te Puede Pasar" or The Best Thing that Could Happen to You, an ambitious name for a set that aired between 6am and 10 am, when most people are dreading getting up to get to work.
Yet, Roca Granell won her audience over with good cheer and her entire team was hilarious.
One day, ELLE Magazine Editor Cristina Mitre came on the show. They opened with the usual introduction and then asked her: “How are you?” And, she responded: “Pletórica.”
I understood the word because "pletórica" led me to “plethora" but I had never heard it used as an adjective. I’ve been thinking about that word and its meaning ever since.
What does it mean to feel pletórica?
A person, a landscape or a home can be pletórica – full of life, joy, energy.
Pletórica is plenitude.
It’s an attitude. It's our personal mission. It's our hope for you, your family and your home.
May you have plenty; may you recognize it and delight in it.
Cheers,
DJ, Chief Happiness Officer, CASA PLETÓRICA
We are homebodies living in Madrid, Spain and yet we've embarked on a wild traveling adventure. We want to make our living spaces cosier but we can't find the pieces we’ve seen in our grandmothers’ homes at the big-box stores. We are on a journey to reclaim these beautiful designs and meet the craftspeople who have kept the traditions alive for centuries.
View LebrillosWe craft top quality one-of-a-kind pieces that we love for their beauty as much as for their durability. Tucked away in small workshops, our alfareros —potters— are still making ceramics the way their forebears did. By hand, piece by piece. No two plates will ever be the same.
View Lebrillo Serving BowlsView our growing catalog of products. We work hand in hand with our partisan partners across Spain to source the best ceramic products for the home and kitchen.
Our traditional Spanish lebrillos are handmade and hand-painted in their historic home city of Granada. These exquisite modern pieces boast the traditional intricate designs we've sourced from antique pieces.
