The Collection
Aura collection is a series of one-off, ultra-decorative furnishing accessories, in which the materials and shapes are loaded with an almost primordial, archaic energy, and the arts of jewellery-making and sculpture seem to live side-by-side; ready to embrace us with their magic, created with fused metals (brass, zinc, copper), manipulated for the first time with a technique that covers supports, dressing them in metal with unique, striking textures.
In the effect created by volumes, patterns and juxtapositions of materials, the surface covered in metal using manual crafting techniques is combined with fine materials, such as precious hand-broken marbles and opus signinum, with its warm, sculptural feel.

The Aura collection is made up of four accessories.
ORBIS – EVOCA – INSULA – LATO
ORBIS
Orbis a circular bookshelf/pupitre, a combination of balances between the lines and visual “weights” of fine materials
In the pupitre version, a precious totem dedicated to the world of wine for storing and displaying bottles.
In the shelvings version it becomes a decorative complement with shelves suitable for displaying.
Both solutions are capable of characterizing domestic spaces, common spaces, luxury and retail.
Luxury at its best, with the charm of jewelry and the expressive power of sculpture. Cast metal (zinc, brass or copper) and hand-broken marble.
EVOCA
Evoca, an element designed to be free, to be interpreted as a console, divider between areas or a precious complement for consumption and display.
Hypnotic is the continuous interplay between contemporary forms and primitive lines.
INSULA
Insula a precious bench with an irregularly shaped cocciopesto element that flaunts a unique harmony.
It is perfect for use in common areas of consumption and tasting. Interpretation is left free in its use as an interior design element.
LATO
Lato a monolith chair/container that plays around with balances between sloping, protruding metal surfaces.
It combines the function of sitting with that of container or small cellar. For common areas of consumption and tasting, retail or home luxury.
