Il Dottor Ferraro

ACTUALLY A NOT COMMON CONTEXT

The plasticity of clay, the sunlight, the Etna warmth, the wind that carry its tales, the inflamed sunsets, the incessant rithm of the waves of the Mediterranean sea, the country landscape, its centuries old olive trees and its rich social fabric, all compose the context of Argital design and production.

In the extreme south-east of Sicily, around the pit that offers millenary green clay, the primary raw material of Argital's cosmetic products.

ARGITAL ACTIVITIES FOR VALUES

Tuesday reading

Each Tuesday we read together the meditative verse “Soul and Clay”, from the Calendar of Soul by Rudolph Steiner. Argital decision to print the “Soul and Clay” verse comes by the deep recognition of the bond between the two.
We realized the booklet to gift it to friends, customers and everyone who request it.

Eurythmy

As its developer Rudolf Steiner defines it, Eurythmy is “visible language”. Today it is performed in anthroposophic school all over the word. The Eurythmy adopted by Argital has for its scope the elevation of company employees' consciousness and the increase of deep armony between them.

The social triarticulation

In Argital we started a course on social triarticulation inspired by the anthroposophical principles illustrated by Rudolf Steiner in the text: "The cornerstones of the economy".

MODELING

Modeling is the art of communicating with the two celebral hemispheres through hands movement. Right hand movement stimulates the logical cerebration of the left hemisphere while left hand movement stimulates the creative cerebration of the right emisphere. Modeling clay with both hands connects the hemispheres while shaping the desidered artistic outcome.
