Our Story

Beginnings:OurStory

This is Dei Mare

Conceived in the summer of 2012, Dei Mare Designs began just as the name implies. Meaning “of the sea,” our work stems from the labors of the Italian immigrants who settled the port-town of San Pedro, California. Voyaging across the Atlantic and through the greater United States, these men and women made their abode along the coast of California. It was here where these individuals took to the sea, trolling the coastal waters and casting hand-woven nets, aiming to capture the fortitude within the Pacific.

Heavily influenced by lavish Italian history and the ever-so alluring Pacific Ocean, each work of Dei Mare bears a story of its own. Developed originally for family and friends, our ideas have been transformed into something greater. What started as mere exploration of shapes and patterns is now continually cultivated and refined into lines of artwork and functional home-décor. Initially crafted for use in the quintessential Italian kitchen, the fruits of our labor began to run wild amidst the horizon of innovation.

Under careful guidance, all of the work is designed and produced by hand in Santa Barbara, California. Being conscious of the stewardship entrusted to us concerning our natural resources, our artists and designers strive to utilize biodegradable as well as recycled materials in the design and production process. Having been shaped by amazing and inspirational individuals over the years, Dei Mare Designs continues to flourish as the seasons change.  1 Peter 4:10
