Doing things a little differently
"Our degree of happiness also depends on the environments in which we live. We see architecture as something that happens to us, something that others decide for us. Buildings speak to us of universal arguments that we can easily understand, of welcome and participation to the future and nostalgia for the past. They tell us about the kind of life best suited to take place around them and within them. They reveal to us what moods they try to arouse and maintain in their inhabitants, they help us and they also urge us to be a certain kind of people. They talk about visions of happiness.”
"The architecture of happiness", Alain de Botton.
Mine is a great love. A love for beauty, for the land where I live, Sicily.
The history of my company began in 1964 thanks to the great tenacity and dedication of my parents, as well as their constant commitment to the pursuit of quality, they have been able to pass on to me the love for furnishing.
Alvar Aalto once said that "a project had succeeded if people feel good looking at it”. My team and I love to give life and shape to the space to let you simply be what you are, with ease and naturalness, enriching your life today and tomorrow with timeless objects that have made the history of design. This is why my idea of a store will be unique. I started out with many challenges in our new premises in Castellammare del Golfo. I wanted to give life to an idea transforming it into a concrete reality of convivial space for our customers. A "box" that can also host designers/architects who know how and want to convey a love of architecture with understanding and passion, "a wonderful synthesis process involving thousands of human components" (Alvar Aalto).
Let yourself be guided by your passions and a love for beauty.
