The peacock, emblem of vanity and elegance.
The use of the peacocks facing each other watching the tree of life and using the stylings from the mosaic floor of the Basilica of San Marco is in homage to Venice, the birthplace of the founder and CEO Paola Zuin.
The peacock, thanks to its colors, symbolizes spring, birth, love and longevity. Its presence is a good omen and, thanks to the beauty of its feathers, it becomes an icon of vanity and elegance.
