"While studying Product Design at the Polytechnic University of Milan, a friend involved me in a leather mask-making course, knowing my passion for craftsmanship. Working with leather and seeing the mask gradually take shape was a life-changing experience for me, and from that moment on, it became my job. I completed my studies with a thesis on masks, combining a traditional and ancient craft with new technologies. With infinite joy, I gave my hands the joy of truly creating physically. Now, I make professional leather masks for theater and events, built using the original techniques from the 1500s, but I also love experimenting with new technologies such as laser cutting, engraving, and 3D printing, blending them with artisanal knowledge. Tradition and experimentation with leather go hand in hand, growing the awareness that working with leather means taking care of it, knowing its timing, and respecting it; being aware that you are working with a living material that demands and deserves respect."
Handmade Leather Masks: Exclusivity and Style in Every Detail
The handmade leather masks created by Gaia are the symbol of an ancient art passed down from generation to generation. Each mask is a unique piece made by hand with care and dedication. The leather used for the masks is selected with the utmost attention. Only the best leathers, processed using traditional techniques, are used to ensure superior quality. Leather is a noble, durable material that gives the masks an elegant appearance and long-lasting durability.
Each leather mask is the result of a meticulous production process. Gaia uses traditional tools and techniques passed down through the centuries to shape the leather, engrave refined details, and create unique forms. Every stage of the process is carried out by hand, ensuring a level of precision and quality that machines cannot match.
The design of Gaia's leather masks is the result of continuous aesthetic and creative research. It not only follows traditions but constantly innovates by creating new shapes and decorations. Each mask is a small work of art with details that tell Venetian stories and traditions.
