The Ancient Technique

01 / DRAWING

Hand-Drawn Cartoons

Motifs adapted directly from antiquity, drafted to calibrate stone flow (andamento) before cutting begins.

02 / FRACTURE

Hammer & Hardie

No electric diamond saws. Every stone tessera is fractured by hand using traditional steel tools to preserve light refraction.

03 / BONDING

Mineral Setting

Bound in historical lime-based mineral mortars designed to cure over decades rather than chemical adhesives.
