The collection

The production includes a rich variety of home décor accessories grouped in product lines and composed of elements of various shape and function, which are complemented by a varied production of custom made items to meet her clientele’s every need. The Abba and Arcuentu collections testify this craftswoman’s stylistic path, revising inspirations and reminders of Sardinia and its landscapes through the use of raw materials and vibrant colours, whilst the Cotto Orbace line revises, by means of elegant graphic designs and neat traits, the traditional loom techniques. All the collections include a number of coordinated pieces ranging from the centrepiece container to the lamp, up to the gay collection of decorative elements and small animals.

The technique

Lathe-shaping, plate-shaping and manual shaping are the techniques Patrizia uses with great technical expertise. Decorations are engraved, enamelled or glazed and enriched with engravings or perforations.
