In a corner of the world, where the whispers of the wind and the murmur of the water danced in harmony, an artist with restless hands and a sensitive heart, a servant, escaped.
My eyes saw beyond the canvas of everyday life and I felt nature in every heartbeat of my soul.
One afternoon, while walking through the woods in my inspirational haven, I stopped next to a stream that flowed with sublime serenity. I looked at the stones polished by the current, the sinuous shapes that the water had sculpted over time, and a thought germinated in my mind like a fertile seed.
That day, back in my workshop, I abandoned the old conceptions and surrendered myself to the flow of water, to the essence of nature itself. With my impulsive hands improvising, and my soul in communion with the material, I began to create sinks that were not simple utensils, but poems in solid form, that's how I felt, and I let myself go.
The curves of those designs evoked the undulations of rivers, the softness of waves, and in each furrow the echo of the currents that had carved canyons in the mountains seemed to beat. I used Solid Surface, a moldable material like clay, but resistant like rock, to bring that vision to life.
Thus, dancing with Gaia, together we transcended the paradigm that accompanied such a noble object, rooted since the 15th century, ensuring that craftsmanship and innovation coexist in perfect harmony. Those sinks were not just objects, they were testimonies of a new way of creating, feeling and living.
These sensations resonate in each of these designs, and the essence of this idea endures in every corner where they find a home.

I like to think that, sometimes, to change the world, it is enough to listen to the whisper of water and let nature guide our hands.
