Leather
We start with vegetable-tanned leather in its natural colour, then build the shade by hand — coat after coat of pure aniline dye, applied in our atelier until the depth is exactly right. The result is a surface that is alive: warm, uneven in the most honest way, and unique to each piece.
Hemp Fabric
Italy was once the world’s leading hemp producer — over 100,000 hectares of cultivation, a fibre trusted for centuries in textiles, shipbuilding, and craftsmanship. That tradition faded in the mid-twentieth century, but the material never lost its character. Coarse, durable, and deeply rooted in the land, Italian vintage hemp carries that history in every thread.
Iron Ring
Wrought iron is not a detail at Tagliovivo — it is a position. Every ring, hook, and fitting is hand-forged individually: shaped by hammer and heat, never by mould or machine. Each one comes out slightly different from the last. In a world built on perfect replication, that difference is not a flaw. It is the whole point.
