The Big Blu Turtle - Leatherback Turtle_ Object
The Leatherback Sea Turtle Dermochelys Coriacea _ Object
An “objet d'art” that recalls the Leatherback Sea Turtle - Dermochelys Coriacea. The largest of all living turtles and the heaviest non-crocodilian reptile. A fusion of colors that range from blue to armor gold-silver to the interior of a deep red. An expression of majesty, form, movement and elegance embraced in a common object with no function at all, other than being exceptional.
Enamel - Le Grand Feu
“Smalti a Fuoco_ Un’arte di Sottecchio”
The art of fire enameling is an ancient and highly complex craft.
Rooted in precise gestures and knowledge acquired over time, it has, through the centuries, transformed simple metals—such as copper or silver—into objects of great value and artistic significance.
Today, it is largely confined to a few specialized creations and is often mistaken for industrially produced items or those made with polymer-based enamels. As a result, it remains mostly associated with traditionally styled aesthetic prototypes.
Only in rare cases has it broken free from classical aesthetics, giving rise to modern works crafted using ancient techniques—thanks to great, though now nearly forgotten, artisans.
These are the foundations of our own deeply personal journey: not only a rediscovery of enamel’s potential, but also a search for a new, contemporary language—one that reimagines how fire enameling can still express beauty and sophistication today.
