Fedro Waste Paper Basket in Corno Italiano and Ivory Lacquered Wood, Mod. 1781

The history of ARCAHORN is inextricably linked to the vocation for craftsmanship of its founder, Mario Guerra, who in 1958 set up in Recanati a workshop specialized in the processing of Zebu horn, rediscovering and revaluing masteries almost forgotten, bounded to the territorial tradition. The common thread of our history is horn, a biological material, pleasing to the touch and to the eye boasting a myriad of shades that bring to life limited collections of furnishing and décor pieces where no two are alike, by nature. Entrusted from the outset to expert master craftsmen, horn is given a new life through an intricate production cycle requiring long lead times, deep dexterity and very specific technical skills, conveyed by tradition. With the complicity of fire and a few tools, artisans’ hands gradually turn horn into tiles to be skillfully matched together and combined only with the finest raw materials. Elegant wood essences, soft full grain leathers, precious fabrics and hand engraved 24k gold plated brass details are merged in exclusive collections of unsurpassed quality, conceived to be handled down through generations. Today, the new generation of the Guerra family has inherited the same passion of their father and that specific know-how which distinguish Arcahorn as a symbol of Made in Italy throughout the world.
