The Stella collection was born from the observation of the typical and traditional tapis; it is a further step towards the production of three-dimensional mosaic objects and in this case there is no support on which to fix the stone and terracotta tiles. So we get the first three-dimensional mosaic ever made so far. The materials used are Tunisian stones - Marble Thela Grigio della Tunisia - and the recovery of glazed ceramic from the end of the 19th century, in a logic linked to the high know-how, the recovery of materials and a new expressive and productive language for the local decorative arts.
Craftsmen, companies, tradition and innovation for contemporary product; the project was 'carried out' by two international experts: Laura Fiaschi and Gabriele Pardi, owners of the Italian design studio Gumdesign. A series of innovative collections for language and production have been created by certain Tunisian artisans; a new design method to innovate in a sector linked to the Roman tradition. This project has been implemented by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and funded by the European Union within the framework of the Programme of Support to the Competitiveness of Services (PACS) / Ce projet a ete' mene' par la Banque Europeenne pour la Reconstruction et le Developpement (BERD) et finance' par l'Union Europeenne dans le cadre du Programme d'Appui a' la Competitivite' des Services (PACS).
