BAR CABINET MANHATTAN

In 1958 Mario Guerra, a young artisan fascinated by natural materials and intricate craftsmaship, decided to set up a workshop in Recanati, a small italian town rich in culture and ancient traditions. Thus was born A.R.C.A. Artigiana Recanatese Corno e Affini, a company specialized in the processing of Zebu horn which is molded into unique pieces.
The first creations included an extensive selection of cutlery, tableware, jewelry and personal care accessories. With just the hands and the help of fire and of a few tools, horn is shaped into timeless objects and reveals its veins that are always different by nature. Horn shades are combined with other precious materials selected with obsessive care in order to obtain exclusive pieces that make our daily gestures unique. Over time, the founder conveyed his passion and know-how to his sons, Giorgio and Silvia. In the early 2000s the company started collaborating with designers and embraced a new path, focused in the production of complementary furniture.
In 2013, the company registered the trademark Arcahorn and mainly focused on the manufacturing of high-end furniture, while still remaining faithful to traditional craftsmanship. Each piece stands out for its impeccable quality and meticulous attention to detail and it’s conceived to enter the most elegant private residences, yachts, hotels and boutiques, also with bespoke solutions.

Arcahorn's vocation for craftsmanship is combined with concern for the environment by adopting low-impact solutions and concentrating production locally. Zebu horns, raised in the wild with respect for the animal's ethology, are recovered to make the products. The selected species (Horn Bos Taurus) are not protected by the Washington Convention and do not require CITES certification. The horn acquires new value through a meticulous craftsmanship process aimed at enhancing the organic and never equal in nature characteristics of the raw material.

The horn reveals its uniqueness after an intricate production cycle that requires long production times and specific craftsmanship. Each stage of processing is taken care of by skilled masters who shape the horn according to ancient techniques handed down by traditional craftsmanship. After careful selection of the best parts and their exposure to fire, the horn becomes malleable and ready to be polished. With the complicity of just a few tools, the craftsmen's hands gradually transform the horn into tesserae that are skillfully matched to create unique creations of infinite natural hues.

Surface Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet’s surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the finish. For tougher stains, use a gentle cleaning solution suitable for delicate materials.

Horn Detail Maintenance: Dust the horn accents regularly with a non-abrasive cloth. To restore their natural luster, apply a small amount of natural wax and polish gently.

Glass and Metal Care: If the cabinet features glass or metal details, clean them with a non-streaking glass cleaner or a suitable metal polish, using a lint-free cloth.

Avoid Sunlight and Humidity: Place the cabinet in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight and high humidity, to prevent discoloration or warping of materials.

Interior Care: Use a soft cloth to clean interior shelves and storage compartments. Use coasters or protective liners to prevent spills and scratches.
