Named after Enrico Ratti, grandfather of co-founder Jim Ratti , whose Artisan wood cheese grater lent inspiration to development of the company, Enrico uses the removed stumps of trees harvested during logging operations as the raw source for their products. Materials ranging from Thai Mango, Acacia, and a specific Chinese Fir Shan Mu, in combination with water-based finishes, forms a manufacturing technique that is described as Eco-Intelligence.

This embraces the visible natural rings, distinct grains, eye-catching colors, and one-of-a-kind sculptural style of each Artisan carving.
