From the union of the force of fire with a noble material such as brass, from the rediscovery of ancient manufacturing combined with artisan skill, a new unique and exclusive collection is born: ELITE. Unrepeatable pieces, produced one by one, in which every detail expresses the uniqueness of a timeless talent.
The Elite collection is proposed as a special line, manufactured through sand-casting that allows the production of unique pieces and is characterized by the expressiveness of the finish that becomes the story of an exclusive and – that's right – elitist craftsmanship. The imperfections and irregularities in the finish then become the distinctive element of the product.
At the same time, this collection recovers the manual skill and therefore the work of the craftsman.
The classicism of the shapes merges with the tradition of the techniques used to shape a collection of products whose porosity and roughness become a guarantee of authenticity and uniqueness. In this way, the defect, generally associated with industrial waste, instead acquires a peculiar and exclusive meaning.
Finally, authenticity and uniqueness are peculiar characteristics of life on our planet. In this sense, the handles have been named as a tribute to nature.
From the Elite collection we want to present the following models:
SAHARA – the immense African desert – 9,000,000 square kilometres. However, each grain of its sand has its uniqueness.
COLUMBIA – in honour of the Columbia Icefield, in the Canadian Rockies.
ANDROS – imagining the uniqueness of each Greek island, or the biodiversity of the coral reef in the Bahamas.
VULCANO – Latin name of the god of fire, as well as the beautiful Mediterranean island that expresses the enormous force of nature.
AMAZZONIA – the green lung of the world, almost 400 billion trees – one different from the other.
