From marble to metal
- • Nicola's family heritage is marble work
- • His homeland has a long blacksmithing tradition
- • True craftmanship is at the heart of his designs
Nicola Di Froscia was born in Campobasso to an Italian father and an English mother. On his Italian side, he is the third generation in a family of marble workers who have devoted their skills to the family firm, Di Froscia Marmi. Young Nicola grew up in the workshop, exposed since childhood to the complexity of marble work. However, while he did eventually join the family activity, he did so in his own time. He spent several years in England and became a blacksmith. Today he runs DF Design, his own venture, in which he combines the knowledge of his marble legacy and his new knowledge of metal. The result is a modern craft that fuses tradition and innovation.

Stilts side table
The stilts side table was inspired by the shape of traditional fishing stilts. Fishermen found on stilts are those who do not have access to sophisticated equipment for fishing. The elegant golden leaf detail was designed to glorify the historic watermark which all the original structures possess.
