I have always believed that an object must not only be perfect, but must have a soul. Arthenéa was born from my need to rediscover this dimension: it is the encounter between the precision of my technical training and the freedom of an artistic gesture that I have cultivated since I was a child. In this Atelier, every creation is a conscious choice, a piece of time that I dedicate to charm and to those, like you, who seek an authentic connection with what they wear.
My professional identity is based on a dedication to artistic drawing and painting cultivated since childhood, tools that today I use to analyze shapes, volumes, and colors. This creative instinct was structured through a multidisciplinary academic path: from the degree in Architecture to Erasmus in Florence, up to the Master in Fashion Design. This training allows me to design each garment with an architectural vision, where the structure and morphology of the body are the core of every stylistic choice.
Before founding Arthenéa, I gained significant experience in the Luxury and Knitwear sector, collaborating on the development of complex projects for prestigious international brands. Working in settings of the highest excellence has allowed me to master rigorous quality standards and advanced materials management. The birth of my Atelier was the response to the desire to instill a deeper intentionality in every creation: not just a product of excellence, but an artifact charged with meaning, where every detail is the result of a conscious artistic choice and a value that goes beyond aesthetics.
Arthenéa represents the synthesis between the aesthetics of Art Nouveau (hence Art+Nea) and the wisdom of Minerva/Athena's artisan mastery. During a month of solitary walking to the ocean, I consolidated my mission: to create unique pieces in organic cotton, merino wool, and recycled silver. In my work, techniques such as crochet and manual embroidery with glass beads are necessary languages to give specific weight to each weft, transforming the material into a work to be inhabited.
Today I put my technical expertise at the service of a narrative luxury. Each Atelier creation is a unique piece, crafted with a meticulousness that celebrates the connection between design and art. Choosing Arthenéa means relying on a product that carries with it the inestimable value of intention: that of creating objects born to last, mean, and excite.
