About the Artist
Nerio Festa

Festa and Company
Background:
Formed in 1994, Festa & Co. produces hand-made lighting and accessories that can be seen in top stores and galleries throughout the country. Their distinctive designs incorporate steel and river rocks, giving each piece a rich signature look. Before launching Festa & Co. Nerio designed and built furniture and and custom interiors for home offices and sailing yachts. An engineer by training, he is a self confessed "tinkerer" who invents machinery for the company and for various other purposes. In what he describes as "a very practical joke," one of Nerio's first designs upon moving west was an earthquake-resistant candle holder. It was the forerunner of the balancing candleholders which appear in the company's current line in several versions. All Festa & Co. products are handmade with the help of basic power tools. Nerio Festa lives and works in the wine country and is inspired by the twisted vines surrounding his workshop. He hand picks each stone and carefully selects them for every piece. Festa uses steel, recycled metal, stones and nothing else. Naturally occurring stones, polished smooth by centuries of ocean tides and rivers, are a central element in the Nerio Festa's designs. The idea of using these varied stones in his work grew out of a trip to Encinitas, a storybook beach in Southern California. He took some stones home, placed them around in his living room and began experimenting with "wrapping" them within rusted steel rods from their workshop and transforming them into functional art. The company's philosophy closely follow its esthetic, emphasizing minimal environmental impact in the fabrication process. Most operations are done by hand thus using little energy. No varnishes or toxic chemicals are employed and most of the packing materials are collected from local businesses. Festa & Co. has grown to a dozen people who still make one piece at the time with hand-picked stones.

Artist Statement:
"The company's philosophy closely follows its esthetic, emphasizing minimal environmental impact in the fabrication process. Most operations are done by hand thus using little energy. Candle holder cups are a by product of car muffler manufacture. No varnishes or toxic chemicals are employed and most of the packing materials are collected from local businesses."
