Chestnut, Poplar
Inspired by the traditional Sardinian chest, Ancas is a sideboard that reinterprets its spirit with a sculptural design. Designed by Chiara Andreatti and Pierpaolo Mandis, it retains original elements such as the liftable lid, the wooden carvings and the solid structure. Made of chestnut and assembled by hand, it combines craftsmanship and history in a contemporary vision.
Pretziada
Pretziada is a creative practice based in Sardinia that promotes the heritage of the territory through words, photography and a collection of design objects made with local artisans. Californian-born Kyre Chenven and Milanese-born Ivano Atzori moved to southwest Sardinia four years ago to work with artisans on the rebirth of local craftsmanship. Sometimes they work directly with artisans, curating specific creations, while other pieces are the result of short trips they take with international creatives, introducing them to the island and its culture.

Pierpaolo Mandis
Pierpaolo Mandis is a carpenter from Mogoro who works alongside his father and brother-in-law. A third-generation craftsman, he recalls stories from his grandfather, who claimed to be the first to bring wooden chairs across Sardinia. “My grandfather was quite a character,” says Mandis. “So I won’t say it’s true, but until I see proof otherwise, I won’t say it’s false either.” To this day, he continues to craft chairs, specializing in wood carving and traditional weaving.
