The Works — Ornamental Carving

A vocabulary carved for one room at a time.

For more than a hundred years, the ornamental vocabulary of Pietrasanta — capitals, friezes, classical motifs — has been carved by hand for spaces that demand something a catalogue cannot offer. Studio Giannoni still works this way, for a single room, a single client, a single piece.
