About Tartaruga Design
Passion and Expertise In Service Of Your Vision
“Passion has always been key to Tartaruga’s success: passion for our craft and passion for fulfilling our clients’ vision.”
Founder Luca Savazzi
Michelangelo, da Vinci, Bernini, and other old masters knew that creativity and innovation without skilled technique are merely ‘fanciful ideas’.
And skilled technique without inspiration and passion is nothing more than ‘competent production’.
It is only when creativity and passion are combined with technical expertise that something truly great and original emerges. The skill of the technicians was what allowed the masters to push themselves to designs that previously seemed impossible.
At Tartaruga Design, it is this marriage of artistic expression and skilled craftsmanship that drives our success and elevates your project.
Tartaruga Design was founded in 1995 by Italian-born sculptor Luca Savazzi. Luca has over 30 years of sculpting experience and has travelled extensively to study the architectural and sculptural styles represented in his work.
Carefully researched and impeccably crafted, Tartaruga’s historically-accurate fireplace mantel and kitchen hood designs have become the industry’s benchmark for excellence.
As the industry leader, we have invested millions of dollars in equipment and technology that none of our competitors have. Computerized carving equipment custom-made by Tartaruga Design gives us the edge to complete your project more efficiently, creatively, and accurately than anyone else.
