Press Release: Officina Pegoretti Brings Its Ciavete Artwork Into Your Home With Its Pump and Frame Series

14th March, 2025

The Italian brand extends its ‘Ciavete’ artwork to Silca’s Hiro pump once more and, for the first time, pairs it with a matching frame.

In 2015, Silca's popular Hiro pump got a splash of colour when Officina Pegoretti, in partnership with Silca, began a special series of Ciavete pieces. When that collaboration came to a natural end, Pegoretti created the occasional Ciavete Hiro on request, but always at the initiation of the client, who also supplied the pump.

Now, the Italian brand has restarted its Ciavete Hiro program. This time, not only is it sourcing and supplying the pumps itself, but for the first time, it is offering a matching Ciavete Hiro as an option when customers order one of its frames with Ciavete artwork.

"When we last created the Ciavete Hiro, each piece was a standalone item," said Cristina Wurdig, Co-CEO at Officina Pegoretti. "However, we've been getting more and more questions from clients asking if we might paint their Hiro pump to match their Ciavete frame commission, so they can enjoy the Ciavete conveniently at home as a design piece. So we decided to formalise the process, sourcing the pumps ourselves from Silca and, most importantly, painting each at the same time as we paint the client's frame, ensuring that the Ciavete artwork reflects the same feeling and style across frame and pump, creating one seamless piece of work."

Cristina noted that standalone Ciavete Hiro pump commissions are also available, "But they are created in isolation. They are not connected to a frame, nor can they be at a later date." And that last point is important if you own a Pegoretti bicycle with Ciavete artwork: the brand will demur if you ask them to paint a pump to match your bike. "Ciavete is an immediate, in-the-moment style," explained Cristina. "To step back into a mindset for a piece we already created would be extremely challenging. The pump would not look the same as the frame."
