Preceded by extensive historical,
stylistic and technical research, the preview of Pedra Collection
was held in December 2006. Pedra Collection is an
exclusive line of home décor objects and accessories, made of composite stone,
which is produced by a company composed of female entrepreneurs and which moves
beyond craftsmanship towards a high-profile production.
Pedra,
is a name with a universal distinguishing feature. The well-structured teamwork
aims at regaining the taste for lines, shapes and design in the material, aesthetic
and tactile reproduction of stone, by blending technology, craftsmanship and the
search for innovative materials.
Drawing upon
archaeology, history of art and design, Pedra Collection
is inspired by the millenary philosophy of the "Divine Proportion" based
upon the rules of the "Golden Section": the essential shapes of minimalism,
the constructions of megalithic civilizations and the fretworks left in the stone
by expert stonecutters who travelled from the Middle East along the ancient routes
of the Mediterranean.
In Pedra
Collection the research conducted is harmoniously blended to bestow the
constructive fineness and the fascinating "imprecision" of artists' workmanship
to each piece and to offer a line of products that may be presented as gifts or
collected.
