Arte Sardengne - Olbia
We commissioned a local artist Gian Mario to design and hand craft all the lights in our apartments. His work can also be spotted around the Condominium in the form of unusual carved wooden gates, with inserts of copper and coloured glass. Gian Mario hails from a small unspoilt traditional mountain town 15 minutes above Olbia. Telti remains untouched and allows us an authentic and romantic insight into Sardinian life, which is far removed from the hectic pace and stress of todays society.
Gian Mario was bought up surrounded by the magic of the island, and is passionate in preserving the innocence and beauty of his country and its landscape. Although he has a shop in bustling Olbia, which his wife runs, he find great satisfaction in hunting for Myrtle wood in exotic mythical shapes that would be suitable for him to carve and create into a unique piece of furniture.
Gian Marios creations can be seen in all the best houses on the Costa Smeralda.
