Mantiqueira
Tacchini Indoor - Rugs, Mirrors, Complements
These inspired creations lie midway between art and design, defying definition. The new Mantiqueira by Domingos Tótora for Tacchini Edizioni are an original artistic encapsulation of the way nature and craftsmanship elicit a shift towards ethics.
