The Perfect Union
Every year in the coldest weeks of the winter season, strange sculptures begin to appear in the fields all over the island. It is the moment for grafting.
Wild olive trees grow throughout the island and they produce perfectly tiny olives with a thin and bitter skin. However, though the oil from wild olives is supposedly superior to that of domesticated varieties, the yield is much, much lower. And so the grafting game begins.

Pretziada is a creative practice focusing on design, crafts and cratmanship in Sardinia. We work with artisans on ceramics, carpets & rugs, chairs and special projects such as an elegant, handmade fireplace set, elegant boots, a shepherd knife and a sculptural coatrack. We collaborate with international creatives, including designers and artists, as well as local potters, woodworkers, metalworkers, weavers and bell makers. We create special itineraries for adventurous travelers, and serve as cultural translators for all sorts of ventures.
