Welcome to our ONLINE STORE and blog.
As a barware, lighting and home accessories design company, we at Thomas Fuchs Creative specialize in handmade goods. Every week we give you behind the scenes to the people, places and things that inspire us.
We are here in Sicily for a secret collaboration with one of the foremost Italian table linen companies. However, in the mean time, our hosts have introduced us to a side of Palermo that not even Lonely Planet or Amex Centurion (Black Card) Travel Services can lead you to.
After a long factory day we were taken out to dinner at the only Mac (Apple) Museum in the world, Mec Restaurant. Did you even know there was an Apple Museum? Even more surprising not even in Cupertino but in Sicily of all places.

In the renovated high-tech setting of Palazzo Castrone, an illustrious late sixteenth century setting in the historic center of Palermo, a stone’s throw from the Arab Norman Cathedral, the 6 museum rooms of the MEC become the set of a unique restaurant of its kind. Boasting the largest collection of Apple Computers, Laptops and gadgets, Giuseppe was sure to have them all on display making one feel like they are having a gastronomic experience in an alternate "AR".
Chef: CARMELO TRENTACOSTI
Chef Carmelo Trentacosti, Sicilian in origin, born in a tiny country in northern Germany, he carries within himself all the colors and flavors of his land and the ability to blend aromas and ingredients from the different gastronomic traditions of the Mediterranean.
Thirty-nine-year-old disciple of Nino Graziano, with a training path dotted with important collaborations in the most prestigious venues in the Veneto and Italian regions, dishes that satisfy the most refined palates and win the eye are born from his inspiration.
