On World Ocean Day, I AM THE OCEAN, The Art Luxury House that aims to create conscious change and redefine the perception of the interaction between humanity and nature, continues its mission with the launch of its third creation, THE PANTHALASSA, a tribute to the majestic and supreme ocean that surrounds the continents and unites humanity. In ancient times Panthalassa was the supreme ocean that surrounded the supercontinent known as Pangaea. Today Panthalassa, still the supreme ocean, surrounds the continents separated from each other-what we call Super Humanity. Despite the different names we have given to the oceans separating them with our geographical boundaries, our cultural differences, and our different lifestyles, we continue to be connected by the ocean and are at one with the world with our oneness through the timeless bond represented by the ocean. The dichotomy of our individuality and mutual interconnectedness is celebrated and reflected without temporal boundaries by the ocean. Our signature woven pattern THE PANTHALASSA itself declaims the dichotomy between individuality and being at one with the world. THE PANTHALASSA is distinguished by its distinctive, exclusive, and inimitable I AM THE OCEAN signature "weave" that interprets the very essence of THE IATO SPHERE concept, which is to offer endless possibilities for customization and self-expression through interchangeable components such as shoulder straps, removable charms (sold separately) and multifunctional inner bags. I AM THE OCEAN creations are made in Italy and handcrafted by master artisans. Each creation is composed of an average of more than 110 elements and as many as 20 "handmade" craftsmanship techniques are required to make them. Hardware components are made following the disciplines of the best Italian goldsmithing arts and certified Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC) because sustainability and luxury are two sides of the same coin. THE IATO SPHERE offers unlimited ways…

Made in Italy took center stage at the coronation of King Charles III. The fabric of the inscription at the base of the tree featured on the anointing screen - Anointing Screen - used at the most sacred moment of the coronation, the anointing of the king, was made from the precious linen yarns of the Italian spinning mill Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale of Villa d'Almè (Bergamo). Emerald and brilliant linen yarns, among Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale's classic products, were chosen by John Spencer (Textile) Ltd. to make the fabric of the inscription featured on the screen. At the same time, the sustainability of the yarns meets the ecological demands of the new king. The Anointing Screen is the element that conceals from the eyes of the world the most sacred moment of the ceremony, the anointing, when the Dean of Westminster pours holy oil from the cruet to the spoon with which the Archbishop of Canterbury anoints the hands, chest and head of the sovereign, an instant historically considered the moment when God and king are joined. The Anointing Screen, donated to Charles III by London's ancient and modern trade guilds, has three sides: on the central one it features a tree with 56 leaves, one for each member of the commonwealth, with the king's numeral placed at the base, while the design of the two smaller ones is inspired by the floor of Westminster Abbey. Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale is the ancient spinning mill in Villa d'Almè (Bg), which has been producing the widest range of high-quality sustainable linen and hemp yarns since 1873, prized by weavers around the world. "For years the Linificio has been actively committed to changing the current economic model to one that is more equitable and sustainable, both environmentally and socially," reads a…
