Made in Italy

SIGNATURE
FINISHES

Our journey to Italy began with serving private clients, creating lighting and fixtures for prestigious fashion houses. 

​

Having completed a decade of our journey, we recognized the significance of unveiling the narrative behind the art of craftsmanship.

​

This is our Made in Itay story.

The Real Thing.

ALABASTER

Our alabaster is a result of millions of years of natural formation in Northern Italy.

​

The abundant natural deposits in the region are globally recognized for their exceptional qualities, including compactness, transparency, intricate veins, and exceptional hardness. 

​

The distinct pattern on each light fixture is shaped by

the inherent qualities of the stone itself, brought to life through the expert use of traditional stone-carving techniques. ​​​​​​

​

Distinguished Italian sculptors like Michelangelo utilized alabaster to highlight the mineral’s translucent quality that emits a warm glow when illuminated. The depth in the alabaster permeates its surroundings with an ethereal intensity.

Guided by the hands of skilled master stone artisans, each piece is meticulously turned from solid European stone, revealing a flawlessly pure, white translucency complemented by subtle brown accents.​

METAL

Our metal finishes are a celebration of the refined, unparalleled attention of our master finishers in Italy.

Each finish can only be achieved through intricacy, nuance, passion and generations of practice. A commitment to craft.

 

Each chain link, shade, screw and canopy is slowly finished by hand. This process can not be rushed and takes several slow methodical rounds until we get the desired finish.

Our signature hand finish, like no other.

In a world smitten by ‘fast fashion,’ our focus lies on the unhurried, methodical art of handmade craftsmanship. Each creation is unique, carrying the essence of generations. Our affinity for historically significant design is evident. 

​

Our artisans wish to convey the message that they are not part of an assembly line. Instead, each fixture is meticulously crafted by a sole artisan in a small shop, set against the backdrop of Tuscany’s ancient history dating back to the 8th Century BC. 

UNHURRIED

LEGACY

Within our community of artisans, a small school is pivotal, providing mentor ship to the younger generation in the delicate craft of alabaster work. 

​

A steadfast commitment is ingrained in passing down the wealth of craft knowledge to ensure its legacy.
