Origin of the Collection: Travel memories from Bari
The Cruise Collection draws its inspiration from Gaetano Scintilla’s childhood memories of traveling with his grandfather from Bari.
These journeys taught him early on that home and travel are not separate worlds: a truly meaningful design can ground us in a space, offering stability and belonging, while also carrying the poetry of journey and the quiet urge to explore.
This lived experience became the most sincere starting point for the entire collection.
The soul symbol of the Collection
BITTA – FLAUTO – OBLÒ
Within the Cruise Collection, the BITTA – FLAUTO – OBLÒ curtain hardware series stands as the visual and narrative symbol of the ‘cruise’ concept, and the core image of the entire line.
BITTA: Inspired by marine mooring bitts, it represents anchoring, stability, and the comfort of home.
FLAUTO: The long, slender rod echoes the elegance of a flute, combining structural strength with gentle movement.
OBLÒ: A circular element inspired by ship portholes, connecting the components and symbolizing outlook, discovery, and distant horizons.
Gaetano transforms the curtain into a spatial veil:
inside the veil lies the calm of home;
beyond it awaits the next journey.
This image perfectly captures the spirit of the Cruise Collection: stillness and voyage are one.
