Our story

About us

Kibelis is born from its co-founders Mattia and Omar, who gathered together their values and visions after taking different paths.

After having practiced their expertise in their own fields from Italy to Japan, and worked as volunteers in Thailand and Guatemala, they came back from the opposite sides of the world to Sardinia, in order to set up their project in their homeland.

Then came Kibelis. Its goal is to create a bridge between cultures: to bring Italy in the world, and to bring the world in Italy. How? Putting together the tradition and the overcoming of any geographical boundary.

Kibelis is born with the purpose of giving shape to Omar and Mattia’s ethical vision into a design project focused upon environmental sustainability, culture and human needs.

Name

The name Kibelis came up from the fusion of “Cibelis”, goddess who was a personification of the creative – and disruptive – power of Nature, and “Ki”, a Japanese sound that stands for tree, energy, soul.

The brand narrates our focus on the creative tradition of the Made in Italy and on a living culture, which goes beyond any geographical boundary.
