Le Giare are amphorae inspired by the ancient world, composed in the lower part by a classical form, while more squared and contemporary form in the upper part. With this project we want to bring this type of artefact back to its original function and pay homage to the ancient gestures of the Mediterranean table.

I Crudi
Le Terre - Edit Napoli 2019
These unbaked clay vases, made in two finishes and obtained from two earth pigments of different colors, represent a small pile of soil from which vegetable elements emerge. Terra Cruda also has important qualities regarding the domestic environment as being an excellent thermo-hydro regulator or shielding from electromagnetic waves.

Charta
Le Terre - Edit Napoli 2019
The coffee tables, which are made of pressed cotton cellulose, following the ancient process of artisanal paper production and colored with earth pigments and natural oxides, are composed of several overlapping cylindrical elements that can intersect. Each part of the table is defined by a different color, in a chromatic progression from light to dark.

The City rises
NLXL Wallpaper Salone del Mobile 2019
The ‘The city rises’ project represents an infinite city that is growing. The geometric pattern formed by cubes of an isometric axonometry is composed of various elements that represent the architectural element, such as the door, the window, the porthole and the staircase. The wallpaper designed for NLXL has a 10-meter pattern which for this reason allows the wall to have a different design.

Mulino
Man de Milan - D3Wood
The ‘Mulino’ Project was inspired by the machines, designed by Leonardo da Vinci in the Sforza era, as well as the symbolism of the windmill as an energy-producing element.Thanks to the straight sides of its silhouette, the bookshelf remains equilibrated even when rotated, the books do not fall, but arrange themselves form one side to the other within its confines.
DESIGN
Curti tiles
Man de Milan - Fornace Curti
This tile collection was designed in the historic furnace Curti of Milan, inside which history and noble, artisanal traditions of the city continue to live today. This exact image of Milan, covered in clay, was the main inspiration of this collection of diamond-shaped tiles, composed of 9 red-clay-ones that represent the graphic archetypes of architecture.
DESIGN
Nebbia
Man de Milan - Mohebban
The pattern of ‘Nebbia’ (meaning Fog) visualizes the change in the atmospheric element through the years. In fact, vertically are represented the years from 1973 to 2017 (depicting only the winter months from September to March), that demonstrate a decrease in the intensity of fog in time. Looking at the carpet form the other side, it becomes more evanescent, thanks to the materials it has been made of.
DESIGN
Salvadané
Man de Milan - Fornace Curti
The piggy-bank ‘Salvadané’ (in Milanese dialect) is designed in the historic Curti Furnace of Milan, where the classic spherical piggy-bank archetype was born. The main characteristic are the linear holes that revolve around the entire top part, allowing for the coins to enter, but also facilitates the breaking of the top, in order to begin its second use as a flower pot or a container.
