The Big Blu Turtle - Leatherback Turtle_ Object
Un "oggetto d'arte" che richiama la Tartaruga Liuto - Dermochelys Coriacea. La più grande tra tutte le tartarughe viventi e il più pesante rettile non coccodrillo. Una fusione di colori che spaziano dal blu all'oro-argento, fino al rosso intenso dell'interno. Un'espressione di maestosità, forma, movimento ed eleganza racchiusi in un oggetto comune, privo di qualsiasi funzione, se non quella di essere eccezionale.
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.
