Amid the celebrated and vibrant week of Art Basel, Pietra Casa, a uniquely curated design boutique nestled in the heart of Miami, captivated art enthusiasts and design aficionados with notable guests such as singer Ramdila Lolly, Max Hartman and Ginger Grace. The event was a success as guests eagerly gathered to witness the unveiling of the new Tonino Lamborghini Casa and Aston Martin Home collections, along with an exclusive exhibition of new Colombian Art curated by Pita Saiz.
The artwork, worth over a million dollars, featured pieces from Colombian artists such as Carlos Villabón, Nadir Figueroa (both of whom were present atthe event), Mauricio Velez, and Esteban Schimpf, making it a showstopper. The art pieces included various mediums such as photography, sculptural paintings made of wire and LED lights depicting the cityscape, and oil paintings.
As for the furniture, Pietra Casa presented an exciting collection of contemporary and timeless furniture from luxury brands Tonino Lamborghini Casa and Aston Martin Home. Handcrafted in Tuscany by Formitalia, these exquisite pieces seamlessly embodied the excellence in craftsmanship and Italian heritage of their automotive counterparts. Each item we sold was made by hand, one at a time, by artisans who had specialized in the process generation after generation. Each piece had a story, authenticity; a soul. We took a stand against the world of mass-produced items and brought forth products to our clients that were art pieces, unique, and storied," stated Peter Oleck, one of the founders of Pietra Casa.
This could be seen with The Aston Martin Home coffee table V290 and the Aston Martin Home V217/B Bespoke Sideboard, both making their debut at the event. Featuring materials such as Matte Carrara monolithic slab and Grigio Carnico Matte marble top, both of which were staples in Italian design for centuries, these pieces embodied Italian design style, forming contemporary heirlooms built to last.
Another homage to Italian design was the Aston Martin Home Lounge Chair V263. Crafted with Italian Graphite Leather structure and bespoke textured upholstery, it highlighted clean lines and minimalist aesthetics. The seamless blend of form and function underscored how Italians excelled in crafting simplicity, as showcased in this piece.
Added to the collection was the Tonino Lamborghini Casa Sofa TL5677, also unveiled at that event. Distinguished by its wrap-around solid ash wood open-pore structure adorned with woven Cuoio leather detailing, it innovated while remaining true to its elegant Italian heritage.
