PHILOSOPHY
The key to Made in Italy
Every single design choice is testament to my values.
I was born and raised in Italy, a land where beauty is our native tongue, instinctive yet spontaneous. I learned to speak it fluently while meandering through its streets, brushing my fingers along textured surfaces, gazing up at magnificent buildings and pausing to watch the colours of stucco walls shift under the golden light. Beauty is built on numbers and techniques. Heritage skills. Tactile surfaces with stories to tell.
My interpretation of Made in Italy is one that honours the craftspeople who preserve the time-honoured techniques that made the Renaissance – and Italy’s other defining art movements – so great. It means treating materials and artisans with the utmost respect.
And it’s at the heart of every single project I undertake.
Authentic materials
Materials have voices. They speak to us through marbled veins, wood grain and weathered surfaces. Like a poet, I listen to them and enhance their natural rhythm for all to hear. When design decisions respect a material’s natural characteristics, harmony follows.
CURATED
TREASURES
When I design, I know the piece that will bring everything together already exists. I just need to find it. Knowing where to look forms a core part of my job. Like a nomad, I hunt the world for hidden treasures. This perspective has also helped me build a precious network of collaborators who share my vision in Italy and abroad.
ECLECTIC SPIRIT
No two design projects are alike. Each one has its own unique soul. With every commission, I immerse myself in a new world, discovering new ways to experience and explore the space. My task is to get to know that world and understand it intimately so I can bring it to life through art and design. I shift, I adapt, I transform.
Bespoke details
Just like a finely tailored suit, every project is crafted for a specific space. Drawing on my technical training and experience, I design handcrafted, made-to-measure furniture tailored precisely to a room’s dimensions. Each piece enhances the space’s unique character and quirks. It couldn’t exist anywhere else.
“I don’t consider my work done until harmony clicks into place. “
