Arcahorn
In 1958 Mario Guerra, a young artisan fascinated by natural materials and intricate craftsmaship, decided to set up a workshop in Recanati, a small italian town rich in culture and ancient traditions. Thus was born A.R.C.A. Artigiana Recanatese Corno e Affini, a company specialized in the processing of Zebu horn which is molded into unique pieces.
Horn shows its uniqueness only after an intricate production cycle that requires long lead times and specific manual skills. Each stage of processing is handled by skilled masters who shape horn according to ancient techniques, conveyed by tradition. After a careful selection of the best parts and their exposure to fire, horn becomes malleable and ready to be smoothed.
"Our vocation for craftsmanship is combined with the respect for the environment. We adopt low impact solutions and concentrate our production at local level. Horns we source come exclusively from free-range Zebus that are bred in compliance with the ethological habits of the animals. The species we select (Horn Bos Taurus) are not protected by the Washington convention and do not require CITES certificate. Horn acquires a new value through meticulous processes that are aimed at enhancing the organic characteristics of raw material."
