In a world intent on speed, Santo de Piedra invites pause. The Pastorale Series reminds us that luxury is not an act of possession but of contemplation — of what nature gives, and of what patience refines. Now considered a piece of art acquired at 15.000 GBP.

In the quiet town of Shiga, where the vast waters of Lake Biwa shimmer beneath the mountains, time itself seems to slow. Here, in the cradle of Japan’s oldest freshwater lake, a centuries-old delicacy continues to defy modern tastes and trends.

Whispers of Chalk and Gold
There is a certain hush that falls when a bottle of Champagne is opened—a pause, a breath, then that soft, jubilant sigh as the cork is released.

The streets glow with the orange blaze of marigolds, candles flicker in windows, and the aroma of simmering mole wafts from family kitchens. It is the Day of the Dead—El Día de los Muertos—a celebration where the living open their doors, their tables, and their hearts to the souls who return from beyond.
