manifesto

poetic
Power, fragility, construction and removal: Pietre Trovanti’s objects and subjects are a manifestation of the confrontation with our environment, without rhetoric, with a sense of truth.

metamorphosis
Stone is made of stone and transforms like a living creature. Rocks change textures and colors, they emerge in rugged, mineral magnificence, their molecules oxidize as they come into contact with air, water, fire and earth. Nothing remains the same as it was a moment ago.

artisanal
Artisans of the Ossola valley have a deep experiential and hereditary knowledge of stone. No piece in our collections could have been conceived without their creative and conscious contribution.

radical
We follow our path between body and essence, physicality and symbolic meaning, material and spiritual: beyond trends, impervious to fashion.

brutal
Stones collected or quarried, transformed for other uses and then considered useless and abandoned. Finished or semi-finished pieces, absolutely visceral: useless, erroneous, add or subtract. Micro-architectures, casual works, unaware, unmarred by any code or classification.

unrepeatable
We work with erroneous stones in the most respectful possible way, not hiding their faults, but maintaining this inherent quality. Our objects are like snowflakes: traceable to the same origin but always different, perfect in their irregularity, decidedly unreproducible.
