Impressive luxury objects, combining purist design and the exceptional buffalo horn material: these ingredients produce the recipe of success for Arca. For over fifty years, the family business from Recanati near Ancona has been making elegant pieces of small furniture, accessories, lamps and mirrors. The particular fascination of the Italian manufacturer’s creations lies in the distinct character of the natural product. Arca uses buffalo horn for its luxurious home accessories. The horn is melted for this purpose, which produces a natural and unique grain.
