Influenced by the vibrant city life and tranquil surroundings of Amsterdam, Dayinne creates objects that evoke emotion and play with light, preserving the inherent beauty of the stone with minimal intervention.

01 DESIGN
The design process starts with selecting raw stone pieces, emphasizing their natural beauty. Each design is crafted to highlight the stone's unique patterns and textures, allowing its inherent elegance to guide the creation. By focusing on the stone’s natural features, we create luxurious, minimalist pieces that celebrate its organic forms and qualities, transforming each into a stunning work of art.
02 Sourcing stone
Our onyx comes from South America or the Middle East, small dedicated teams search for unusually unique and high-quality varieties of onyx. These teams work closely together to extract the onyx from the mountain as carefully as possible, so that as little is lost as possible and the beautiful veins of the onyx are shown off to their best advantage.
03 Craftsmanship
Each piece is carefully handmade in a small workshop by skilled artisans, who combine expertise with passion. Our close relationships with family businesses and suppliers ensure that each creation has a personal touch. This approach ensures social sustainability through fair practices, transparency and strong community ties, resulting in unique, high-quality designs that reflect our commitment to craftsmanship and ethical values.
04 quality check
Before each piece reaches the store, it undergoes meticulous quality control and is carefully packaged. We ensure that each item meets our high standards for durability and aesthetics, so that only the finest and best-made pieces reach our stores. This process ensures that each piece can truly shine like a jewel on your table.
At Zaconi, we believe that art and light have the power to evoke deep emotions and forge lasting connections between people and spaces. Our designs are not just about aesthetics; they are about creating spaces that resonate with the soul, where beauty and practical elegance come together in perfect harmony.
