Pinuccio Marongiu’s handicraft production, realised in his workshop Laboratori Artigiani, reveals his sensitive and invaluable knowledge of the material, his ability to exploit its characteristics by interpreting the grain and twists so as to produce striking objects that, with a refined design, revive the original essence of wood giving it new life and form. Pinuccio approached the artisanal techniques when he was very young in his village, Ilbono, where in the 1970s he started his business in a lively context of handicraft production covering several sectors. His production stood out from the very start for the artisan’s expertise and ability in using and interpreting the material, enhancing its every feature whilst respecting its nature. In 1991 Pinuccio moved his workshop to Tortolì, a small town in the region of Ogliastra which is set in a breath-taking naturalistic context of crystal-clear sea, woods and Mediterranean scrub. Currently his business is well regarded and sought after across the region for the excellent craftsmanship. Gifted with sensitivity and a natural talent, he became a close friend of the artist Maria Lai, and he works with untiring inspiration in the picturesque natural setting of his workshop in Tortolì, with the invaluable support of his son Marco, with whom he shares an innate love for nature, art and poetry in a dialogue that consolidates itself with each new experimental creation and which involves all his close-knit family.
