It’s a constant dialogue between that wild, untamed
imagination that sneaks up on you when you least expect
it and the physical world where even in the smallest of
forms, defines the final masterpiece.
And now, let’s talk about our beloved wood carvings—
because, yes, they deserve a moment in the spotlight.
Even though it’s an age-old, deeply artisanal process
with all the flair of traditional Italian craftsmanship,
here we don’t just follow the rules.
We break them—while keeping a few traditions alive, of
course. I first start with pencil sketches and then carve
those ideas into wood, staying true to a craft that, let’s
be honest, most people have ditched in favour of 3D
printers.
Not us, we hold onto those wood carvings like a secret
recipe, knowing they add a touch of character and
authenticity that machines just can’t replicate.
The feel of a wooden prototype carving in hand?
Absolutely unbeatable. There’s something deeply
satisfying about running your fingers over its texture,
feeling the shapes take form.
It’s like the wood speaks to us, giving us an intimate
connection to the creative process. This tactile experience
goes beyond what paper can offer—it provides a crystal-
clear vision of what the final product will look like.
As our hands trace the curves and details of the design,
the finished piece becomes sharper in our minds.
We start to picture how it will look, how it will feel, how it will
fit perfectly into its final space. It’s like a sneak peek into
the future, except way more satisfying because it’s carved
from tradition, imagination, and just a little bit of magic.
