Silvia De Nuccio, architect and artisan.
She lives and works in Puglia, in Capo di Leuca, a remote area suspended between the sea and the countryside, where time seems to stretch and the landscape preserves ancient memories of toil and resilience.
Always committed to urban regeneration and the recovery of rural heritage, she intertwines her professional practice with personal research rooted in the place where she lives: a South that resists and reinvents itself, a laboratory of continuous experimentation.
Alongside architecture, she cultivates a passion for weaving and crochet, practices I interpret as forms of radical craftsmanship: a hybrid field where craftsmanship meets social criticism, and tradition dialogues with innovation.
The accessories challenge the canons of traditional craftsmanship, exploring unusual materials, mixed techniques, and unconventional forms.
Each object is born as a gesture of resistance to mass production and as an act of care that places uniqueness, sustainability, and slowness at its core.
Thus, from the landscape of the South and its contradictions, a language is born that unites memory and experimentation, craftsmanship and critical thinking, in a constant pursuit of new expressive possibilities.
