Fiducia in Art
When Metal Meets Creativity
Trust in Art: Beauty comes from recovery
We open the doors of our factory to artists, designers, and photographers who transform scrap metal into unique works.
A project that combines recycling, culture, and sustainability, where materials are reborn in new forms: sculptures, installations, furnishings, and photographic visions.
Roberto Mora
"I've always seen a treasure in industrial waste," says Roberto Mora, the Emilian designer whose furnishings are created from scraps of metal stamping. Chairs, sideboards, partitions, coat hangers, and containers crafted by his hands have been exhibited at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan, as well as appearing in the windows of major metropolitan design stores. His favorite scraps? "Sfridi," the technical term for the negatives from laser cutting sheet metal.
Lufer (Luca Ferraglia)
"The recycler recycles in an instant" is the motto of Luca Ferraglia, aka LUfER, an artist and designer born in Langhirano in 1962 and currently based in Parma. All his works are created from waste materials: in 1997, he opened "Visivo-auditivo," an art gallery where he presents his unique pieces. Since 2007, his objects have been exhibited in various Italian cities in exhibitions on the theme of recycling.
Guglielmo Pessina
An accountant by profession, a photographer by passion with a penchant for scrap metal, Guglielmo Pessina has taken over one hundred photographs, exhibited in Parma in the solo exhibition "Metals, Colors and Shapes." Pessina's greatest inspiration comes from copper sheets: "They look like paintings with their textured and decorative effects; with other materials, vague images emerge, more or less clear silhouettes."
Paolo Sandolfini
Always gifted with a keen sensitivity combined with a broad range of interests, Paolo began capturing diverse subjects and scenarios, from his passion for vintage cars to scrap metal. Research, knowledge, and passion are the key elements underlying his work.
