Puglia, land of stone.
​
Rocks, sea and fields of olive trees, this is the landscape that welcomes you in Puglia, a land formed by stone since prehistoric times.
There has always been the mining and craftsmanship of stone.
There are four regions where the extraction of natural stone is concentrated, Apricena, Trani, Ostuni and in the region of Lecce.
​
Pietra leccese ( limestone ), particularly soft and easy to work with. Carparo is harder and more resistant. Thanks to the presence of clay,they are both extremely easy to work with. This is the stone that has been used in the baroque architecture of Lecce and today is chosen for architectural projects arround the world.
​
We propose candleholders and lamps with a modern design that are infuenced by the old and the new.
