Traces of Inspiration

Veltha is the realization that what may seem simple, natural and beautiful to many actually does not exist, is not available, is not within reach, what seems easy is actually not. The need to make alive and real the concept of an ideal environment in which to let go, tune in to nature, the air the sun, lower your defenses and regenerate was the driving force behind the creation of a new project of which Roberto Capati is the author signing the designs and the whole idea of the collection.

His projects are rooted in the classical/traditional matrix but declined in a modern key, made of fine materials, intended to last over time, with a refined and non-invasive design, products ultimately that can meet the need for furniture elements with stylistic roots that are rooted in the Mediterranean tradition and memory, familiar atmospheres, evocative of happy eras of our history such as Dolce vita, Capri, Costa azzurra, Sixties; at the same time products with high intrinsic value, which can become fixed, reference points in a home, an investment, until they are handed down to future generations, in a word: heritage

The moment the idea of a project takes shape for which the purpose is the creation of an entire idea of an environment one must be clear about the goal to strive for and begin to line up the values on which to build it, that is how the work that made Veltha a reality began.

That’s where I started from, imagining a context in which the aesthetics and functionality of individual products could combine with the more general values of which the materials used, such as stone and metal, are bearers, which in addition to having a high intrinsic value have other equally important ones such as historical, symbolic and as a heritage to be passed on to future generations. The travertine of the Colosseum and Rome’s glorious imperial past, the peperino of the sculptures of the great Renaissance gardens and medieval villages of central Italy, and Michelangelo’s marble represent an idea of harmony and immortality, of values precisely that negate and counteract the sense of ephemerality that pervades most commercial projects
