Arcahorn is an Italian company specializing in working with Zebu horn, which is shaped into unique accessories and exclusively designed furniture pieces, entirely handmade in Italy. Our story begins in 1958, when Mario Guerra, fascinated by artisticcraftsmanship and inspired by the sensations that horn gives him, decided to open a workshop in Recanati. The small town in the Marche region, as well as the whole region, is a repository of culture and ancient traditions where passionate and inventive craftsmen undertake new activities, relying above all on their skills and creativity, mixing ancient knowledge with good taste.
Horn is a material with infinite natural nuances. To make the most of them, Arcahorn carries out careful research and selection offine materials such as wood essences, marbles, leathers and fabrics that enhance its peculiarities.
The vocation for craftsmanship is combined with attention to the environment by adopting low-impact solutions and concentrating production locally. Zebuhorns, raised in the wild in respect of the animal's ethology, are recovered for the manufacture of the products. The selected species (Horn Bos Taurus) are not protected by the Washington Convention and do not require CITES certification. The horn acquires new value through a meticulous craftsmanship process aimed at enhancing the organic and never equal in nature characteristics of the raw material.
