 THE FOUNDERS

Sandra Kirschon, originally from Sweden and a graduate from Parsons School of Design has 25 years of experience as a designer for some of the world’s most prestigious jewellery companies in Europe, the US and Asia. 

While living and travelling in Asia, Sandra's passion and appreciation for the local art, craftsmanship and architecture grew, inspiring her to design luxury villas and custom made furniture, combining pure, modern lines with traditional Asian features and artwork, a style that resulted very popular on the Indonesian and international market.

Roberto Bianchi, originally from Italy, has an extensive experience working in real estate in the US, Italy and Asia including sales, building luxury properties and lead restorations. During his years of living abroad Roberto also specialized in identifying the best local artisans with whom we realise our products. 

WHEN AND WHY WE CREATED KIRSCHON

After many years of living, travelling and working in Asia we felt that it was time to return to Europe, to our roots and families. We saw the opportunity to introduce petrified wood in Italy since it wasn't very present there yet and combining it with thew local art we had grown to love, presented in a western context - a combination we explored in multiple property developments over the years and saw that people were very drawn to. We wanted to offer customers a unique and personal experience while guiding them to stunning pieces that engage and make gorgeous, meaningful gifts. And who knows, offer pieces that just might work as the powerful talisman's they're believed to be in the rural areas of their origin...

The company was founded in Italy in the summer of 2018, with a Showroom in Como and a Web-Shop. During the fall of 2021 we expanded the business with a larger warehouse, Art gallery and Showroom located on the beautiful hills of Lake Como, housing the growing Collection.
