Arcahorn is an Italian company that specializes in
working with Zebu horn, which is shaped into
unique accessories and exclusively
designed furniture pieces, entirely handmade in Italy. The brand's history began in 1958, when Mario Guerra, fascinated by artistic craftsmanship and inspired by the sensations that horn gives him, decided to open a workshop in Recanati. The small town in the Marche region, as well as the whole region, is a repository of culture and ancient traditions where passionate and inventive craftsmen undertake new activities, relying above all on their skills and creativity, mixing ancient knowledge with good taste. The horn reveals its uniqueness after an intricate production cycle that requires long production times and specific craftsmanship. Each stage of processing is taken care of by skilled masters who shape the horn according to the ancient techniques handed down by traditional craftsmanship. After careful selection of the best parts and their exposure to fire, the horn becomes malleable and ready to be polished. With the complicity of a few tools, artisans' hands gradually transform the horn into tesserae that are skillfully matched to create unique creations of infinite natural hues. Horn is combined with fine materials such as wood essences, marble, leather and carefully selected fabrics.
Arcahorn, luxury accessories and furnishings Made in Italy
Flatware, table accessories, jewelry and personal care items are the first creations of the era. With the work of hands and with the help of fire and a few simple tools, the horn takes on new shapes and ever-changing shades, combined with other precious and sought-after materials, selected with extreme care in order to obtain timeless objects that make every daily gesture special. With the passage of time, the passion, knowledge and secrets of the craft are handed down to the new generation of the Guerra family, which embarks on a new path focused on the production of
furniture and furnishing accessories faithful to the craft tradition. Each collection is distinguished by impeccable quality and scrupulous attention to detail and is designed to furnish the most elegant private residences, yachts, hotels and boutiques with even made-to-measure and highly customized creations in order to meet the expectations of a sophisticated and demanding clientele.
Arcahorn Business Ethics
Arcahorn's vocation for craftsmanship is combined with care for the environment by adopting low-impact solutions and concentrating production locally. Zebu horns, raised in the wild with respect for the animal's ethology, are recovered to make the products. The selected species (Horn Bos Taurus) are not protected by the Washington Convention and do not require CITES certification, and the horns are recovered at the end of the animals' natural life cycle. The horn acquires new value through a meticulous craftsmanship process aimed at enhancing the organic and never equal in nature characteristics of the raw material.
