Split is a side table and stool concept exploring how a single structural idea can define an entire object. A narrow divide runs through both the tabletop and the leg structure, letting light and air pass through the form and creating a lightweight presence despite its material weight.

Held together with powder-coated metal bolts, the concept is explored across several configurations: fully powder-coated aluminium, brushed aluminium, wooden tabletop, and upholstered seat. A core part of the design process was finding a form neutral enough to carry an unlimited range of color and material combinations, each shifting the character of the object while the structure stays the same.

Inclina is a sculptural laptop stand that explores the balance between work and rest, craft and technology. It rests flat when not in use and gently tilts when a laptop is placed inside, shifting the centre of gravity and setting the object into motion.

A recessed bowl is suspended from the stand and self-balances in response to the tilt, always remaining level. The object never settles into a fixed state it finds its own equilibrium. Warm walnut and hand-finished steel sit alongside this quietly mechanical behaviour. The prototype was exhibited during Milano Design Week 2025. Selected as the winning project in the Lenovo × Rivatelier collaboration.

Structa explores how eyewear design reflects culture, craftsmanship, and history. Drawing on a background in jewelry making, where architectural forms and precise detailing were central, the sunglasses translate those sculptural qualities into wearable design.

The model was 3D-printed using a cellulose acetate filament from the Zestep Project, developed to reuse waste from traditional acetate manufacturing. Selected as a finalist for the international Sergio Cereda Design Award.

Fondere is an eyewear concept inspired by winter landscapes and the way snow softens form and light over time. The design explores fluid transitions where lens and frame merge into a single, continuous surface.

The gentle wrap of the frame provides protection from light while remaining integrated and understated. The project explores how eyewear can balance performance, responsibility, and personal experience in a restrained and enduring form.

Sfera is a sculptural lamp inspired by the cyclical relationship between light, form, and movement. Composed of rotating CNC-milled metal discs, the lamp allows light to be revealed or concealed through a simple gesture.

Touch-sensitive activation and integrated wireless charging merge subtle technology with expressive form. Sfera explores lighting as an interactive and emotional experience, transforming everyday illumination into something quiet, tactile, and atmospheric.

Radice is a bed design drawing inspiration from the organic movement of branches and the sculptural warmth of solid wood. Smooth walnut curves, rounded edges, and a seamlessly integrated adjustable backrest give the piece a calm, grounded presence.

Named after the Italian word for root, Radice centres around a unified leg system that forms the visual and structural foundation of the design. This element is adaptable across different bed sizes, creating a modular framework that extends naturally into a wider furniture collection.

Kart is a modular public seating system designed to bring flexibility and clarity to shared and transit environments. Built around a single design language, the system allows multiple configurations while maintaining a consistent structural identity.

The collection consists of two seat types: a solid seat available in plastic, leather, or wood, and a frame seat where leather or fabric is wrapped around an open steel structure. Combined with a stool, bench, and two table formats, the system achieves maximum modularity across a range of spatial configurations.

The project focuses on how people actually move, wait, and interact in shared environments. By allowing seating to shift between linear arrangements, clusters, and open formations, Kart supports both individual use and social interaction without imposing hierarchy.

Lacunare draws inspiration from the coffered ceiling of the Pantheon a structure where geometry is not decoration, but the logic that holds everything together. Each recess defined by what surrounds it. Each edge made meaningful by shadow.

The collection translates this into a complete furniture system: a modular sofa, armchair with pouf, a one-seater pouf, and a coffee table. Every frame is upholstered in leather using traditional Italian selleria stitching a craft in which the seam is never hidden, but becomes the line that defines the form. Structure and ornament are the same gesture, as in the Pantheon.

Concept developed for the Fendi Design Prize 2026.

Guksi draws on old Sámi handcraft, creating an object that exists between traditions: not a reinterpretation, but a quiet conversation. Entirely hand-carved from a birch burl, with a handle of reindeer horn and recycled silver, the form follows the material: each cup shaped by what the wood allows.

Traditionally, the Guksi is a personal object belonging to the Sámi, an indigenous people of the Nordic north, carried and worn over time. Growing up close to the culture inspired this modern interpretation of the old handcraft methods: familiar and foreign at once.
