Made by hand in Italy
“Umbria has amazing local materials, such as ancient oak, travertine, marble and, those living here know the best way to work it and use it. Most hill towns were renowned for specialising in a specific craft and today their descendants still practise with amazing knowledge and care. I like to take my designs to these specialists, work alongside them to create a prototype and then see their precise skills realise my vision.”
