(Francesco D’assisi)
His creations are timeless, sum of past and present, with the feeling of nature and modernity of design.
Years of research of new alternative techniques of work, always manual, that can give visual and tactile emotions and convey to our hands the same sensations perceived by the eye. For this reason everything is done by hand, with techniques used in ancient times that still can give to the creation its own identity and life.
