Once upon a time, not so long ago, in a world not far from our own, there was a beetle. The beetle's name was Scarameo and he had amazingly beautiful wings, a sparkling colorful body in the most beautiful of patterns. His antennae glittered with gold and he lit up the black night wherever he flew.

In this world, beetles were very uncommon and therefore sacred. The few that existed were incredibly rare and respected by the other creatures of the forest.

Suddenly, dark forces took control of the world and banned all beautiful creatures from living in the magical forest. Scarameo fled for his life to escape his terrible fate. He became tired and tired and after flying for weeks, the beautiful gold on his antennae slowly began to fall off. Finally, he became so tired that he fell onto a tree branch, closed his eyes and fell asleep. Just for a little while…

When Scarameo woke up, he was in a completely different place than the one he fell asleep in. He was in a blooming garden, lying under an enormous velvet tree. The tree was covered with sparkling berries in all the colors of the rainbow.

Scarameo had been saved by two girls, Miki & Camilla. They had found him in the tree, brought him home to their garden and invited guests from all over the world to honor the last beetle of his kind. The guests brought gifts, pastries and beautiful crafts. Everyone slowly began to believe in a new world again, a world without dark powers – and Scarameo was their shining hope.

ABOUT THE FOUNDATIONS

Miki and Camilla are two childhood friends who are passionate about design, color, shape and unique creations for the table setting. They want every meal to bring back memories of the lavish festivities of ancient times when everything was beautifully placed on the table. When they couldn't find what they were looking for on the market, they created their own collections of useful and luxurious placemats, inspired by the beetle.
