Pier Maurizio Pasini and his father Placido, the patriarch of the family.
The tradition of the Pasini company continues with Emanuele, working alongside his father and grandfather.
Our HISTORY and cultural HERITAGE is born inheriting the know-how of a historic family business, active since 1960 in the high-end leather goods sector. Pasini Pier Maurizio S.r.l. has nurtured the Made in Italy tradition, encapsulated in skilled artisanal craftsmanship spanning three generations. Collaborating with international luxury brands, it has incorporated creativity, research, and technical expertise into its corporate philosophy.
Grandfather Placido left Veneto and arrived in Milan at a young age, gaining experience in a footwear factory. He opened his first company producing leather clothing, riding the waves of the new fashion trends of that era. After that period, he started manufacturing leather accessories, particularly women's handbags. IThe common thread weaving through our history is the ability to reinvent ourselves and raise the bar towards excellence. We have never been afraid to take risks, innovate our products, and explore new avenues and processes. As a testament to this, alongside our ongoing activities in the leather goods industry for various international brands, Artèpura was born.

ARTISANAL CRAFTSMANSHIP
Techniques
Matelassé, Modular Applications, Ilays, Bas-Reliefs, Sophistications Dedicated to environments with a unique and personal style, ‘s art walls transform surfaces into decorative elements. Engaging with interior spaces, they provide a fresh and valuable perspective. This customization extends to adapting our creations to flat or curved surfaces, walls, architectural elements like ceilings, as well as components such as furniture doors and doors.
's techniques are not an end in themselves; rather, they represent the artisanal gesture through which we craft a narrative. The precision and refinement that characterize stitching, assembly, and finishing in small-sized products are also reflected in the philosophy of Artèpura's works. Our workshop employs various language techniques, including quilting, seamless bas-reliefs, modular applications, and inlays. In addition to high-end leathers, including precious and exotic ones, we utilize other natural materials such as marbles, woods, and mother-of-pearl to create visually striking and materially valuable scenographies. Through meticulous design, the harmonious blend of these diverse materials is expressed in walls that transcend functionality, transforming into art objects that captivate viewers and become the focal point of the space.

Matelassé The art of matelassé gives life to an evocative symphony of textures and details on the surface of leather, creating an immersive tactile and visual experience. This exclusive technique goes beyond mere quilting; it is a refined form of artisanal expression that transforms leather into a precious stage for sophisticated patterns. The stitches, infused with a tangible passion for craftsmanship, reveal themselves as guiding threads that tell a story of manufacturing mastery. The leather, subjected to a delicate padding process, gracefully lifts, providing depth and threedimensionality to the observer. The versatility of this technique is evident in the creation of multiple interpretations.
What further distinguishes matelassé is the ability to enhance its charm through delicate engravings. These expertly executed incisions not only emphasize the aesthetics of geometric patterns but also add a touch of refined distinctive elegance. Each engraving is a carefully thought-out detail, contributing to defining and emphasizing the intrinsic beauty of each element. IIn summary, matelassé is not simply a processing technique but an art that transforms leather into a sensory masterpiece, rich in craftsmanship history and details that blend harmoniously to create a unique aesthetic experience.

Inlays A manifestation of high craftsmanship, inlays stand as authentic works of art on the walls, transforming them into elegant evening gowns through a sophisticated combination of colors and materials. The intrinsic uniqueness of this technique lies in the skillful blending of various types and shades of leathers, allowing for a perfect harmonization with other precious materials. Each inlay represents an intricate puzzle of carefully selected and skillfully integrated leathers, imparting depth and sophistication to the overall composition.
The craftsmanship shines through in the perfect balance between the various colors and materials used, creating an extraordinary visual effect that captures attention and adds a touch of luxury to the surrounding environment. IFurthermore, the versatility of this technique allows it to adapt to a wide range of contexts and styles, offering the opportunity to customize inlays to meet the most refined aesthetic needs. Inlays are not just wall decorations; they are authentic expressions of art and craftsmanship that transform spaces into refined settings.

Bas-Reliefs The bas-relief technique is a fascinating form of artistic craftsmanship that involves the creation of three-dimensional designs, without using stitchings.
Natural leathers are then affixed to the surface using ancient manual techniques, "sculpting" geometric or artistic representations.
In this particular technique, decorative elements are modeled to protrude from the base surface, creating highly artistic themes, even in large dimensions.
The arrangement of three-dimensional elements can vary widely, allowing for a broad range of designs and styles.
The final result is the product of a specific artisanal process where materials of different densities come into play, meticulously crafted one by one.
The final result of this technique is a surface that not only captures visual attention but also invites touch, enabling the appreciation of the depth and complexity of the raised creations.

Modular Applications This technique enriches the wall through an original composition of geometric or figurative modules. This creative arrangement provides a delicate and guaranteed aesthetic impact, transforming the space into a unique visual experience of chiaroscuro.
This modular approach is not just a decorative addition but an artistic statement that combines geometric originality with craftsmanship mastery. The variety of leather finishes adds a tactile dimension to the design, inviting sensory exploration of the surface.
The applications shape the surface with sartorial refinement, highlighting a high aesthetic value. The three-dimensional effects, masterfully achieved, emerge through the juxtaposition of individually handmade modules, each contributing uniquely to the overall depth of the installation.
In conclusion, modular applications go beyond mere decoration, transforming walls into threedimensional artistic landscapes where craftsmanship precision and compositional originality merge to create an environment that stimulates both the mind and the senses.

additional Sophistications The refined techniques previously described by can be further embellished with extraordinary manual finishes. These include the hand-shading of the crust with specific dyes, a testament to meticulous mastery of the raw material. Particularly noteworthy and with a shimmering effect is the artisanal application of gold or silver foils, each of which is an authentic, precisely unrepeated creation. Every step, executed with artisanal skill, contributes to creating a visually impactful and complex effect.

Art is also expressed through an exclusive hand polishing technique, employing a variety of waxes and ointments. This meticulous process imparts to the surface an unexpected tonal chromatic variation and a unique saturation, starting from a uniform base. Attention to detail, manual skill, and the individuality of each element are the pulsating heart of 's craftsmanship and limitless creativity.
