A Menu of Your Life
A private dinner built from the client’s biography: childhood dishes, family rituals, journeys and memories become chapters of the menu.

Objects and occasions with a reason to exist.
Private Editions are proposed commissions, developed with the founders from the person outward. They are not past work and are not presented as such. They are invitations, each one built around the client who commissions it.
Each edition is scoped and priced individually after a first conversation, never a package off a shelf. You always know the full cost before any commitment. Claves fees, third-party costs, acquisitions and contingencies are separated and approved in every real proposal.

The Year That Made You
Choose the year everything changed; Claves sources wines from that period and builds the evening around the people, places and events that shaped the client.

The Lost Work
Search for a work absent from public view; research its ownership; approach the current custodian respectfully. Viewing or acquisition only where permitted.

White Truffle Before Dawn
A private Langhe truffle hunt, an estate kitchen and an Andrea-led dinner. The point is land, season, people and food, not generic luxury.
