Mediterranean Echoes

Stories from the Heart of the Sea

There’s an echo that returns every summer to the rooms of our workshop: it’s the sound of the Mediterranean, with its tales suspended between myth and matter, nature and art. This month, in our Narrative column, we want to follow that voice — the one that speaks of salt on the skin, of sunlight blazing over ancient metals, of shells that hold the sound of time.

Mediterranean Echoes is an invitation to trace the briny thread that connects our recent projects, collaborations, and iconic techniques.

The Mediterranean as Home


For us — working from Florence, but always looking outward — the Mediterranean is more than a place: it’s a visual and cultural language, shaped by centuries of beauty, symbolism, and craftsmanship. Its waves have rippled through our city since the time of Botticelli, whose Venus rising from the shell remains the ultimate image of grace and rebirth.

Like that mythic figure, our objects are born from raw material and transformed by hand — emerging with a harmony of strength and sensuality, classicism and invention. The Mediterranean teaches us to embrace weathered surfaces, materials that age with dignity, and light that sculpts and reveals.

It lives in the memory of hands that know, that shape, that pass on.

And every project that carries these echoes — every collaboration that resonates with this spirit — becomes part of our evolving narrative.

The Siren and the Call of Art

With the poise of myth and the power of sculpture, the siren created for the Salon d’Hiver is one of our latest statements. Made using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, the piece preserves the poetry of the original gesture in every detail — from the curve of the tail to the tension in her gaze. She tells a submerged story, a song that rises from deep waters.

From Gdynia, with a Southern Soul


Our collaboration with architect Karolina Rochman-Drohomirecka (Il Capolavoro) also resonates with this marine echo. Though set on the Baltic coast, the Sea Flow project channels a Mediterranean sensibility: brass knobs shaped like a shell, a hand, a serpent — rich in symbolism and narrative. “The world is a sea,” said Saint Hippolytus, and every wave carries an idea. The philosophy behind this project celebrates craftsmanship as cultural value, and interior design as storytelling.

The Shapes of the Sea


In recent months, our catalog has welcomed a new wave of sea-inspired knobs: shells, stars, knots, and fish that, while stylized in brass, retain the sensuality of their natural origins. Some recall the Adriatic seabed, others the fishermen’s nets of Procida, the glazed ceramics of Salina, the hues of Portovenere. Each piece is a living trace of what the Mediterranean offers: abundance, symbols, identity.
