"Rupe” is the Italian word for "cliff" and it's a name carved from the essence of Matera, a city born from stone and shaped by time. It is a story that tells of resilience, of homes sculpted into stone, of a land that holds the echoes of ancient hands.

We imagine a world where life slows down, where the warmth of a neighbor’s voice is as essential as the walls of a home. A world where objects are made to last, where beauty is found in simplicity, in the raw texture of wood, in the cool touch of stone, in the table that gathers generations. It is a world of open doors, of sunlit courtyards, of meals shared under the same roof.

RUPE is a return to the essential, to the rustic charm of things made with care, to the conviviality of the South—where time is measured not in minutes, but in moments.

Our work is a love letter to our homeland, an homage to its artisans and an invitation to rediscover the wisdom of a simple life.
