Artistic products for your spaces, handmade with love in Tuscany

Established in 2016 from the vision of Pjeter — an artist and craftsman with a background in photography — the company designs and builds unique indoor and outdoor furniture using reclaimed wood, forged iron, and steel. Each piece reflects a blend of skilled craftsmanship and refined aesthetic, created to stand the test of time.

Alongside its furniture and homeware collections crafted from olive wood and wrought iron, the company also produces original artworks, including oil paintings, watercolors, and illustrations inspired by nature and the surrounding landscape. With a strong focus on design and marketing, every creation is thoughtfully presented to its audience — a seamless fusion of tradition, innovation, and creativity.
