Horn veins are never the same by nature and provide a strong decorative element that captures the attention.In 1958, Mario Guerra, a young artisan fascinated by natural materials and intricate craftsmanship, decided to set up a workshop in Recanati, a small italian town rich in culture and ancient traditions. Thus was born A.R.C.A. Artigiana Recanatese Corno e Affini, a company specialized in the processing of Zebu horn which is molded into unique pieces.The first creations included an extensive selection of cutlery, tableware, jewelry and personal care accessories. With just the hands and the help of fire and a few tools, horn is shaped into timeless objects and reveals its veins that are always different by nature. Horn shades are combined with other precious materials selected with obsessive care in order to obtain exclusive pieces that make our daily gestures unique.Over time, the founder conveyed his passion and know-how to his sons, Giorgio and Silvia. In the early 2000s, the company started collaborating with designers and embraced a new path, focused on the production of complementary furniture.In 2013, the company registered the trademark Arcahorn and mainly focused on the manufacturing of high-end furniture, while still remaining faithful to traditional craftsmanship. Each piece stands out for its impeccable quality and meticulous attention to detail and it’s conceived to enter the most elegant private residences, yachts, hotels and boutiques, also with bespoke solutions.OUR ETHICSOur vocation for craftsmanship is combined with the respect for the environment.
