To the candles with 100% anti-soot wicks, veiled by a blend of loden and cotton that is now in extinction. In addition to the spray variation for hands, the home and fabrics. Gifts of well-being, in uncoated paper boxes, the most sought-after in ecological publishing. Otherwise wrapped in tissue paper of rare workmanship, smoothed with a silk-like effect, from one of the most sophisticated small printing-houses. Also cradled like secret jewel boxes, made of fine hand-stitched leather, by master saddlers. Like a nest or a surprise cutlery egg, Design Egg, at the heart of Casa Maura’s poetics. Ode to life, in the sweet memory of those warm, almost golden eggs, collected in a child’s chicken coop and tasted secretly, before being sold by Grandmother. Silvering inspiration beginning from the first layer of brass thanks to an almost primitive workmanship, for a mysterious, mirror-like effect. Finishing with the diamond-shaped engraving, always in harmony with the environment, respecting its stones. The same zen softness is found in the silver jugs. Cylinder-shaped and rounded. To welcome water and its healing miracle. From the hand shaped beak, piece by piece, to the handle, almost like a butterfly in flight. From the talent of a magical welding wand. A game of details: the satin label on each box, the white glove supplied, for maximum care. Like the one for wine, the prince of hospitality. Artwork to be framed, with the Bottle Holder designed by Maura Wasescha. To host the most precious bottles, respecting the ideal inclination for oxygenation, in a hand-signed Limited Edition, using a diamond tip. Moving on to the silk velvet of the seamstresses’ looms, the only ones who still embroider sparks of gold thread produced by a company that dates back to the sixteenth century. Its pochette is dressed from the inside in pure Vichy or in cotton with an antique print of carved wooden matrices and the diaries in hand-sewn Venetian paper with a specially chosen paper grammage. Companions over time, for a relaxing home ménage. Together with the iPad holder made of natural textured leather, with a secret pocket of femininity and flexibility, made of whalebone. With careful research of just the right fibers balanced between innovation and design, for the ideal haute couture of the home.
The rounded glass vases that shed a special light on the flowers and the pyramid constellation candelabra in brushed bronze or absolute black color. A ceramic cabbage-leaf cachepot. Each piece one of a kind, sculpted and brushed into patterns of nature. Casa Maura goes far beyond the trend of living by making objects become a feeling of sustainability. Reminiscences of a way of loving as well as living. “If you don’t know who you are, your home will never be truly your own, it will always belong to someone else”, concludes Maura Wasescha who has followed the existential lesson of the German master of architecture Mies van der Rohe. “Less is more”. In the spirit of her space of rebirth, decisively New York style, in the heart of St Moritz. To celebrate over 40 years of evolution in the name of the home which, for her, is a woman. In synergy with her son Michael-Angelo and her family. Surrounded by cascades of columns, magnetic steps, a table for seduction all tailor- made. Handcrafted as if it were leather by Italian masters of iron. And a divertissement of curves, her very personal contemporary version of the Engadine meditation bench. Because the home is a promise of belonging, in a conviviality that becomes a fairy tale, waiting to be discovered.
