The Team

Research and development are the driving force behind our innovative startup.
What characterizes our technology – large dimensions, natural recycled minerals and engineered natural binders – combines different disciplines, from mechanics to fluid dynamics, to electronics to software programming; requires a deep knowledge of the materials, their characteristics and their reactivity; and at the same time it requires a deep, concrete and pragmatic experience.

We are specialized technicians and digital artisans who like to do new things, and do them with passion.

The passion for art led me to obtain a degree in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. Thanks to the technical and manual skills developed, I was able to create ornamental elements, as well as furniture or wall decorations to be placed in commercial or private spaces.
In Desamanera I deal with the post production of the prints, their finishing, the application of MarbleSkin™ and the preparation of the materials needed for printing. Desamanera offers me the opportunity to discover a unique type of work and to acquire new knowledge every day. Every day I can contribute to its development through my craft skills.

Stefano Beccari

I dedicated my entire training on the study and practice of art, first at the Institute of Art Bruno Munari in Castelmassa -RO- and then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna.
In the professional life I have found space for my skills in the field of carousel production, decorating and painting. Then, intrigued by innovative techniques such as 3D printing and marble processing, I was lucky enough to join Desamanera where I was able to express my creativity at 360° in decorations, finishes and sculpture.
