It was born from a passion that for over ten years has led us to work with two materials as simple as they are noble: earth and wood. Each piece is handcrafted according to tradition, making it a unique and unrepeatable piece.

The production process of our products requires time and patience, a relatively long time that distances us from the "quick" and "repetitive" mentality; a feeling we hope will translate into the finished pieces. (Statement adapted from Picta.'s website)
