AQUATELLUS is the story of two persons, Alessandro and Nermin, who met thanks to a fortunate destiny and started, since then, to share their lives and their dreams. He is italian, with twenty five years experience in the high fashion textile industry. She is Turkish, with art's studies, a long working experience in the advertising marketing sector and finally, when in Italy, a design Master in Florence. Living in Florence and enjoying its country side has enhanced their desire for natural products and a design and colors’ taste that could reflect their daily inspirations from their beautiful city. Both of them handicras' passionate and with a strong desire to create something that could also transmit their moral principles. A trip in Anatolia will ignite the spark of Aquatellus idea. A project designed to rediscover a millenarian tradition in knoing threads and weaving fibers, transferred into our daily needs and tastes, rigorously maintaining the highest level of technical interpretation and materials involved. Two years of research and work, knowing personally each artisan and his families, humbly learning from them and adding our experience into their traditional techniques. A process where creativity and taste are the essential ingredients used by Alessandro and Nermin, reinventing shapes and colors. In Aquatellus name they wanted to bring back the Latin roots of Anatolia, expressing the essential elements of life: water and earth. On the other hand the essence of a product lies mainly on the work that produces it. A priority of Aquatellus collection is to preserve the working process of these tiny artisanal communities, respecting their culture and environments. Only in this way, out of industrial schemes and rhythms, every product will show its sweet unicity created only by a man's hands.
