Growing up in Naples, Giunia developed a taste for raw, decadent and rugged textures inspired by the surrounding architecture. She found similarities between that and the organic forms of nature. Every piece is a convergence of those two worlds
Every piece is a collaboration with master artisan Franco and his son, Ugo. Giunia wants every creative vision to be translated by skilled hands, while holding a connection to the past.
At just 10 years old, Franco has been in the workshop watching and learning from his uncle Vitale. He said, craft “starts from childhood, stolen with your eyes, transferring it to the heart, and finally to the hands.”
The process starts with a sketch that’s sent to the artisans, who then take a day or two to craft the shape. Then, Giunia arranges a trip from Amsterdam to Naples to see them in person. Once the mould is created, it takes 2-3 hours to make each piece.
The leather pieces are also a heritage craft from her hometown. She sources them from places that have unsold or overproduced vintage leather from the 90s. Each piece is handcrafted at an atelier.
