Meet the Makers
La Collezione is the result of many hands, stories, and places woven together. Each object was created in collaboration with a maker I know personally — craftspeople in Italy, the UK and Europe, whose skills and materials bring depth and authenticity to the collection. From marble quarried in Puglia to ceramics shaped in Amsterdam, and wood turned in Nottingham, every piece carries both heritage and the imprint of the hand that made it.

Woodturner
Friuli, Italy
The wooden spheres of Bàle are crafted by an artisan based in Friuli, near the border with Slovenia. Working exclusively with storm-felled and broken trees collected from the surrounding woods, the maker shapes each piece by hand, allowing the natural forms and imperfections of the timber to guide the final object.
Each Bàle is one of a kind, carrying both the story of the landscape it came from and the quiet dedication of the hand that shaped it.Anonymous
