In Maurizio Galante's words, the essential aspect of his work is a love of craftsmanship: “I conceive my designs, be they haute couture pieces, a light or a vase, to convey feelings and emotions ... The connection is important: between myself, the producer of the object, and the person who will see the completed object. Love is the connecting fibre. Love of the craft that is invested in the conception and making of the object.”
