Who we are
Aurelio Amberg is a Swiss-based curator and representative of exceptional artisans and manufacturers, creating timeless objects and surfaces for the worlds of art, hospitality, and tasteful living spaces.
Introduced in 2023 by Philippe Zenhäusern as the crafts and design unit of our family trading company Schibli Handels AG, Aurelio Amberg was established to unite masterful craftsmanship with design excellence, serving as a liaison between discerning clients and artisans predominantly from India. With a focus on natural materials, we bring forward creations that embody authenticity, refinement, and enduring beauty.
The name Aurelio Amberg translates as treasures from nature, reflecting the rare and exquisite works we curate and bring to life.
What drives us
For centuries, crafts refined over generations have produced objects of unmatched beauty and integrity. Yet too often, the very hands that shape these treasures are undervalued. A legacy risks being lost, not because the craft lacks relevance, but because society has yet to reward its true worth.
We are convinced that this is changing. The world is beginning to recognize that authentic mastery and enduring value lie not in mass-marketed luxury, but in the patient perfection of the handmade. History shows us that the greatest maisons began as humble workshops devoted to excellence in a single craft. Much excellence remains unseen by the masses, yet deserves a stage.
Our mission is to nurture this future: to help craftsmanship evolve, to support apprenticeships that safeguard rare skills, and to empower those who share our vision. We believe the next chapter of luxury will not be written by corporations alone, but by the craftspeople whose artistry embodies authenticity, timelessness, and human ingenuity.
What we do
Your customer would like to have a Henri Rousseau Painting made of Pietre Dure to decorate his entry hall? The Carpets and Crockery should go with the overall design of the hotel? Aurelio Amberg is the catalyst where art and craft unite, transforming noble materials into timeless creations and visions into form. Beyond representing select brands on a B2B basis, we act as a conduit to rare, bespoke craftsmanship. Each piece is born of meticulous handwork, guided by passion for materials and a profound sense of beauty. The result: objects of presence and vitality.
We place great importance on sustainable production and lasting partnerships, ensuring that what we create today carries significance for generations to come. Enter our world and let yourself be captivated.
How we work
We work hand in hand with our suppliers, acting as an extension of their workshops and factories. For bespoke projects, you are placed in direct dialogue with the manufacturer, ensuring that every nuance of your vision is understood and translated with the greatest precision.
We distinguish between curated collections and fully bespoke creations. The former presents the refined standard repertoire of our partners, while the latter begins with your idea — with no limits set on imagination or craftsmanship.
