The LEFTOVER + SOUR brands renew kitchens, bathrooms, living playgrounds, terraces, or gardens with the support of Made in Italy artisan excellences, coming from Palermo, Turin, Ostuni, Rome, Venice, and Milan.

Project
Speziale
A single container for spices, a sewing box in which these foods, special “tools” for the kitchen and for the body, can be kept, just like an ancient “speziale” would do.
The oblique dividers, which divide the interior spaces, reserve each element its own place, avoiding contamination and preserving the aroma and fortifying power of spices.
Partnership

The project was born from an idea of ​​Raffaella Guidobono, founder of Leftover, a “factory” born in Palermo in 2011, with the aim of telling the encounter between Design and Craft through unique, limited-edition objects.

Speziale was created by the artisans of via Calderai in Palermo, an important artery of the former Jewish quarter of the city, once the bed of the Kemonia river, a place destined for centuries for the processing of household tools, not far from the Church of Sant’Andrea degli Aromatari, site of the guild of the ancient Palermo apothecaries.

This box, whose name was used in medieval times to indicate the Masters of Aromatics, invites respect for the infinite resources of spices and emphasizes the urgency of reducing packaging within the agro-food trade.

The need in the study and analysis of the context is shared by Raffaella with Federica Messina of Negozio Leggero in Palermo, who is also constantly looking for a beautiful and sustainable lifestyle.
