This page is an ode to my absolute favorite: the brand with the prancing horse. What you see here is not just an object; it is the result of pure passion.

Just as the iconic cars from Maranello are built with utmost precision and human dedication, these three epoxy ashtrays have been fully shaped by hand. It is my tribute to the aesthetics, the speed, and the soul of a legend. It is a personal "tributo" to the craftsmanship that has amazed the world for decades.

The History & The Logo: Where does it come from?

The story of Ferrari is inextricably linked to its founder, Enzo Ferrari.

• The Beginning: Enzo was a racing driver for Alfa Romeo before founding his own company in 1939. It wasn't until 1947 that the very first true Ferrari (the 125 S) rolled out of the factory in Maranello.

• The Logo (Il Cavallino Rampante): The black prancing horse was originally the emblem of Francesco Baracca, a legendary Italian fighter pilot from World War I.

• The Meeting: In 1923, Enzo met Baracca’s parents. His mother, Countess Paolina, told Enzo: "Put my son's prancing horse on your cars. It will bring you luck." Enzo added the canary-yellow background—the color of his hometown, Modena—and the Italian tricolor at the top.

The First Creation: Raw Potential

My very first creation is a tribute to the origins of strength and simplicity. This piece is crafted from reclaimed lumber (steigerhout), a conscious choice that bridges the gap to the iconic prancing horse of Maranello.

Robust, raw, and pure. This object was never meant to be a polished final product, but rather a baptism of fire. It is a test on the racetrack, much like Enzo Ferrari’s first prototypes when they hit the track for the very first time: untamed, honest, and full of potential. It is the physical embodiment of a first vision coming to life.

The Second Creation: Precision and Perfection

My second creation marks the exact moment where passion takes shape in perfection. Where the first model was a raw test on the track, this piece is fully ready for the spotlights.

Crafted from premium oak wood: durable, light in color, and indestructibly powerful. The choice of oak symbolizes our constant drive for self-improvement. It is stronger, more refined, and built to withstand the heat of the moment—just as the engineering in Maranello never stands still. This is craftsmanship designed to stand the test of time; robust in quality, elegant in appearance.

The Third Creation: The Limited Special Edition

Just as every legendary automotive brand has a limited flagship model that rises above all else, I proudly present my third edition. This is no ordinary object; this is a Limited Special Edition.

Crafted from a unique combination of materials and refined down to the smallest detail. For this piece, the soul of the reclaimed lumber has been elevated to an unprecedented level, inspired by the vision of top design architects. The result is a perfect balance between raw power and architectural sophistication.

This is the pinnacle of my passion. An ode to rarity and the relentless pursuit of the ultimate form. Created for the collector who understands that true beauty lies in the details that others overlook.

An ode to the iconic red Alfa Romeo emblem, born from wartime scarcity and the power of reconstruction.

The Post-War Logo (1946–1950)

Following the destruction of World War II, the machinery used to produce the vibrant, multicolored Alfa Romeo badges was completely destroyed. Out of this hardship emerged the rarest emblem in the brand's storied history: a simplified, often monochrome red or gold embossed logo, stripped of its previous complex enameling. This minimalist badge became an enduring symbol of resilience and the rebirth of Milan.

Custom Post-War Badge

The engine plaque and the historical logo included in this exclusive set were custom-commissioned and crafted according to original historical specifications by Del-Priore, beautifully reviving the raw, unfiltered elegance of the late 1940s.

The "Golden Arrow"—a masterpiece of post-war resilience and the pinnacle of automotive history.

The Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Freccia d’Oro was the very first Alfa Romeo to roll off the production line at the Portello factory after the war, starting in 1947. It stood as a triumph of hand-built craftsmanship during an era that was rapidly shifting toward mass production. This specific model is unique, as it is the only vehicle to proudly wear the rare, minimalist post-war emblem throughout its entire production cycle.

Production & Exclusivity

Between 1947 and 1950, only 680 units of the Freccia d’Oro were ever built. At the peak of its production, merely 100 to 150 units per year were meticulously crafted by hand for the global elite, including royalty and film stars.

The Collection

This unique, limited-edition set masterfully bridges the passion for classic automotive legends with the refined art of cigar smoking.

• Minichamps 1:43: An exclusive, limited-edition scale model (1 of only 1200 pieces worldwide) of the Freccia d’Oro, finished in its historic, authentic grey period color.

Unique, handcrafted, and an absolute must-have for every automotive enthusiast: this exclusive alfa romeo epoxy ashtray!

I created this epoxy ashtray with a great deal of passion, using epoxy and wafer-thin pieces of oak wood, carefully cut to achieve its unique, curved shape. The iconic Alfa Romeo logo, inspired by the legendary post-war emblem, has been meticulously crafted from genuine cigar bands. Bands from renowned cigar brands such as CLE, Vegueros, and Macanudo are arranged in a striking and highly recognizable pattern. The ashtray is finished with a shimmering, red resin layer embedded with metallic flakes.

In short, a timeless masterpiece. Bring this stunning piece into your home today!

A unique up cycled piece of furniture that tells a personal story of passion, memory, and rebirth.

The heart of this table is crafted from an original alloy wheel of an Alfa Romeo 147. For Steven, the founder of Artequi, this car was not just a vehicle; it was his very first Alfa Romeo.

Years ago, the wheel became severely damaged, rendering it unusable. But instead of throwing it away, Steven preserved it. Seventeen years later, driven by memory and his refined craftsmanship, he decided to breathe new life into it.

Following a meticulous restoration process—where the damage was expertly repaired and the alloy was polished to absolute perfection—the wheel was transformed into a one-of-a-kind,upcycled industrial epoxy side table. The elegant, iconic lines of the classic Alfa Romeo wheel now serve as the foundation for a stunning glass tabletop.

The Artequi 147 is more than just a table. It is a symbol of automotive passion, respect for materials, and the firm belief that true beauty never fades.

A piece of personal automotive history, carefully restored for its second lease on life.
