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.

For this collaboration, Parisian designer Ambroise Maggiar was inspired by the prominence of the fireplace as the social centerpiece in every Sardinian home. Using the rough style of antique pieces as his guide, Maggiar has reinvented the essentials, wasting no space on unnecessary flourish. The set’s clean, modern lines contrast beautifully with the hand-welding and rough finish crafted by Fratelli Argiolas. Includes poker, tongs, bellows, broom, shovel, ash bucket, tool stand and two andirons.
