Castagno Rectangular Woven Basket with Handle Designed by Oscar Maschera

OSCARMASCHERA is a 100% Italian company that was founded in 2005 out of Oscar Maschera and Claudia Serafini’s profound experience in and knowledge of materials.

Surrounded by the timeless and romantic countryside of Pesaro, the two artists convey their creativity through the production of unique, refined items and small pieces of furniture, all made of leather and natural materials. The product range goes from magazine-holder baskets to log-holders and various-sized boxes, from desk accessories and picture frames to benches, poufs, stools, refined mirrors, carpets and lamps. Oscar Maschera collaborates with internationally renowned designers, such as Nestor Perkal, Claude Bouchard and Nathalie du Pasquier.

All OSCARMASCHERA objects are made in full grain leather, which is the outermost layer and most valuable part of the hide. It is an authentic, Italian, vegetable-tanned material (tannins extracted from the bark of certain plants, such as mimosa and chestnut). Processing is traditional: It is a process that requires time and accuracy. The leather must retain all of its characteristics and its history.
