Picta is a new design project founded in 2018 by artisans Elisa De Marchi and Roberto Casagrande. Trained in fine arts, graphic design, and industrial design, they developed Picta to create an artistic space where passion and originality are transmitted through expressive mediums. Picta is a collection of interior decor accessories in constant balance between design and craftsmanship, distinguished by exceptional materials (namely marble, clay, and wood) and traditional production methods. Each piece embodies a passion for expressive artisanship.
Born from the hands of a craftsman. Treat it with love.
Each artifact is handcrafted according to tradition; as a work in its own right, it is unique and unrepeatable. The production process requires time and patience, a relatively long time that moves awayfrom the industrial logic of "fast" and "repetitive."
The choice of raw materials is intrinsically linked to the landscape and its traditions. Elisa and Roberto, the founders of Picta, love the natural feel of Wood and Earth, which they try to preserve as much as possible, minimizing the use of glazes and paints to celebrate its organic textures. The two artists select each wood plank with care and responsibility, favoring Walnut from fallen or responsibly cut trees. They use onlystoneware mixtures fired at high temperatures of between 1150°C and 1250°C. Such firing causes a principle of vitrification that allows us to obtain ceramic objects that are that are waterproof, highly resistant and therefore durable.
