Henge Book #18
Nature speaks in many voices, from its
soft murmurs to its disruptive songs. It is a
tireless soul that changes with each encounter; it
revolutionizes its existence without losing itself,
emanating its magnificent power even in the
most delicate gestures.
Henge is the essence of listening to this
incessant orchestra - a stone that has passed
through time and has witnessed its symphonies,
deeply touched by a nature that is ready to reveal
itself to those who can hear beyond the silences.
The best Italian artisan work extrapolates
the images suggested by nature; it sculpts the
surfaces as if the object already lives in the
material, eagerly waiting to exist.
Man is part of this irrepressible flow of
ideas, of force and of evolution, and knows its
language. Translating it is an art for the few
who know how to immerse themselves in the
world’s soul and understand its secrets. Henge’s
history stems from this deep bond: from the
unrestrained inspiration from nature that makes
imperfection and inimitability its greatest beauty
and from the innate ability of man to imagine.
