Meet Valeria

The Music Room takes its name from Satyajit Ray's 1958 film, a story about a man who gives up everything to keep beauty alive in his salon. It felt like the right name for a studio built around the same stubborn devotion: to art, to objects with history, to the belief that a plate can be more than a plate.

Every piece at Valeria's Music Room starts as a found object, a vintage plate chosen for its character, its glaze, its particular history. An original illustration transferred as a ceramic decal and fired into the surface. Part tableware, part wall piece, entirely one of a kind.

The work is made by Valeria Trucchia: artist, illustrator, and lifelong collector of beautiful things. Raised in Paris within an Italian family, shaped by two decades in Brooklyn, now based in Southern Arizona. Her background shows up in the work. Think Parisian chic meets desert boldness, delicate ink lines paired with confident shapes. The result is something that feels both refined and a little wild, much like red lipstick worn with a cowboy hat.
