Alberi
Sempre fermi, sempre ritti,
sempre zitti,
come impavidi soldati,
stanno i buoni alberi, armati
sol di foglie e fiori e frutti,
di cui fanno dono a tutti.
Tutto danno quel che hanno
e per se tengono solo
un gorgheggio d'usignolo
un fischietto di fringuello
un sussurro di ruscello.
(D. Valeri)
Phillyrea latifolia
The wood retains it's natural properties over the passage of time. As there are no chemicals used in the production of our dildos, the surfaces are completely hypoallergenic and will retain the natural feel of wood. Only sunflower oil and beeswax are employed to give a smooth glassy finish, which can be washed with soap and warm water.
Otherwise on request we can cover the sculpture with an impermeable vitreous surface.
Each dildo is completely unique and entirely made by hand. Any imperfections are down to the natural grain in the wood itself.
Each process for the creation of these objects has complied with the most serious and strict controls regarding respect for the natural environment.
