Beyond the name of 'Buskett Stone'



‘Throughout our days, consumers are bombarded with promotions. However, only a low percentage of this advertising material manages to reach our attention. In fact, by time, most adverts and brand names become second nature to us.’

So instinctively, we wondered whether our followers knew about the origins of our name. We thus reached out to Gino Chetcuti, the brains behind Buskett Stone to learn more about the business he gradually established during the past twenty years.

So how did the name of 'Buskett Stone' come by?

Buskett has been the nickname of the family for decades. Everyone knew our family as ‘Tal-Buskett’, especially in Qormi. Back when I was a young man, my dad ran the ‘Buskett Confectionery’, which was notorious for wedding services, pastries and ice creams. A few years down the line, my brother and I started to work with wood. I taught myself through the basics of wood sculpting and carving. A few years later, I started to experiment with stone and it was not much later when the two mediums were being used in our works. Later on, my focus shifted on stone which has now become our primary medium within our works.
