Our creative process is rooted in dialogue – between past and present, form and function, intuition and rigor. We begin by immersing ourselves in the context of each project, studying its cultural, architectural, and emotional dimensions.
Research is essential, but so is instinct: we allow references from art, design history, cinema, and everyday life to surface naturally and inform our choices.

Rather than following a fixed style, we aim to build a coherent narrative for each project, one that feels timeless yet contemporary. Our influences range from ancient Greece to modern masters, from craftsmanship to industrial production, always with a strong attention to detail, proportion, and, of course, atmosphere.

When I arrive at the studio, I try to check my emails, but I almost never manage to do so. Instead, I quickly leaf through a magazine that I left on the table the night before and make myself lots of green tea, waiting to review the various projects, and so it goes on until late afternoon! I’m a morning person, but I prefer not to leave too late because I love going to exhibition openings or reading one of the countless books I buy and accumulate on the coffee table in my living room. During our lunch break, when we don’t have clients and have some time, we enjoy a risotto al salto at Bar Basso, which is very Milanese and very relaxing.

We select materials through a balance of research and experimentation, considering their tactile qualities, structural performance, and relationship with light. Often, we like to juxtapose contrasting materials – refined and raw, warm and cool – to create tension and depth. This dialogue allows each element to enhance the others and contributes to a layered and nuanced result.
