Travertine & Marble
Pietre di Toscana
3rd Generation
"Every block of stone has a statue inside it. Our work is to discover it."
For three generations, the artisans of Pietre di Toscana have quarried and sculpted travertine from the ancient thermal springs of Rapolano Terme. Their console tables, lamp bases, and decorative objects carry the geological memory of Tuscany — each vein pattern unique, each surface a map of millennia.
Blown Glass
Fornace Ferro Murano
4th Generation
"Glass remembers the breath of every maker who shapes it."
On the island of Murano, where glass has been blown since the 13th century, Fornace Ferro continues a lineage of mastery that predates the Renaissance. Their vases, mirrors, and chandeliers are formed at 1,100 degrees — each piece shaped by breath, gravity, and the steady hands of fourth-generation glassblowers.
Bronze Casting
Kala Kendra Foundry
2nd Generation
"The lost-wax method has no shortcuts. It demands patience and respect for the metal."
In the walled city of Jaipur, the artisans of Kala Kendra practice the ancient cire perdue — lost-wax casting technique that dates back over 5,000 years. Each bronze sculpture begins as a hand-sculpted wax original, encased in clay, and fired until the wax melts away. Molten bronze then fills the void, capturing every fingerprint of the original form.
Brasswork
Peetal Craft Co.
2nd Generation
"Each hammer strike is a conversation between the maker and the metal."
Moradabad — known as the Brass City of India — has been the centre of metalwork for over 400 years. Peetal Craft Co. continues this tradition, hand-hammering, engraving, and patinating brass lamps, candleholders, and decorative objects. Their pieces carry the warmth of human touch — no two are identical.
Crystal Cutting
Atelier Bohemia
5th Generation
"Crystal is frozen light. Our work is to set it free."
From the glass-making heartland of Bohemia, Atelier Bohemia has been cutting and polishing crystal since the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Their chandeliers grace palaces, grand hotels, and private residences worldwide. Every facet is hand-cut on iron wheels, a technique that produces a brilliance no machine can replicate.
Bronze Sculpture
Maison Thibault
3rd Generation
"A sculpture must breathe. It must carry the tension between stillness and motion."
Founded in post-war Lyon, Maison Thibault specializes in contemporary bronze sculpture. Working with both established and emerging artists, their foundry brings creative visions to life through the ancient art of sand casting and modern finishing techniques.
