About

(1995) Born and raised near Turin, where I live and work.
I design and create furniture pieces with a pragmatic approach, which I transfer from product design to interior design consultancy.

I work with companies and design studios, ranging between a more experimental and craft-based practice and a more traditional approach to the topics of interiors and products. In addition to general design tasks and projects, over the years I have developed a particular experience in technical issues, focusing on the executive aspects of the elements.

In 2022 I have started working as an independent furniture maker.
In 2023 I finally presented my first collection, Lockwerk, awarded in EDIT Napoli as “Best Unreleased Product” of the Seminario section of the fair.

I am a professor of Design History and Culture for IAAD in Turin.
