From Sketch to Reality

From the sketchbook of architect Eddie Maestri comes Arcana — a series of fireplace mantels born from moments of architectural discovery. Each design begins as a hand-drawn sketch, capturing the essence of a place, a facade, or a fragment of history — the rhythmic arches of the Hollywood Bowl, the grandeur of Parisian theaters, the stately avenues of Dallas and New Orleans. Those lines are then translated into sculptural, timeless forms, crafted in fine stone to command the room and anchor life’s most meaningful moments. Arcana is where architecture meets firelight — sketched by hand, crafted for life.

"Every mantel in Arcana begins with a moment that catches my eye — a curve, a proportion, a detail that holds my attention. I draw to understand it, to distill it. Those sketches become the blueprint for mantels that balance history with a fresh perspective. In the hands of skilled artisans, those lines take form in stone, creating an architectural statement meant to ground a space and frame the life lived around it."
