What's in a name?

Our name is inspired by ancient and medieval natural philosophy: quinta essentia, the fifth essence (or fifth element). It was believed that this was the missing element to make gold. We chose this name because we hope that you will find the essential element here to make the difference in whatever environment that you choose to place our objects.
