OCTAEVO x ACTOS: The Perfect Collaboration

OCTAEVO x ACTOS: The Perfect Collaboration

Design meets function. Inside our collaboration with ACTOS, and the thinking behind it.

Cala Secreta: A Special Summer Collaboration A Hand-Painted Collection Born from the Mediterranean

  • Cala Secreta, the hand-painted summer collection by OCTAEVO and ACTOS

  • Cala Secreta, the OCTAEVO x ACTOS hand-painted summer collection

Hidden between sunlit rocks and gentle waves lies a secret cove — a cala secreta — where time slows down and beauty whispers in silence. It is in this quiet place of wonder that the Cala Secreta Collection finds its inspiration.

Handmade by artisans

  • Production of the hand-painted Cala Secreta pieces

Brought to life by OCTAEVO and ACTOS, two Catalan brands rooted in Mediterranean heritage and creative sensibility, this exclusive summer collection is a tribute to the soul of the Costa Brava. Each plate is hand-painted, echoing the shimmer of saltwater, the rhythm of the sea, and the quiet rituals of coastal life. The result is a series of ceramic pieces where craftsmanship and poetry meet — each one a gesture of warmth, memory, and the timeless charm of the Mediterranean.

Let your table become a cove of its own — quiet, personal, and full of light.
