The founders of Sella&Mosca were keen amateur Egyptologists and great travellers.
Their logo depicts a wine-pressing scene inspired by Egypt’s Old Kingdom.
It is believed to be a stylised reproduction of a scene shown on a low relief in themastaba of Mereruka, Vizier of King Teti,at Saqqara, and more precisely in the lower part of the north wall of Chamber A12(see drawing of the complete scene).
The relief depicts five men using long poles to press the grapes contained in a sack, so that the juice filters through the fabric and falls into the jar below.
