Hello,
I’m a Designer based out of Arezzo, Italy. Experimenting with new shapes and materials, from detail to large scale, I’ve developed my professional path combining creativity and knowledge of esteemed Italian artisanship.
Positioned without compromise between future and past, design will always provide us with unexpected interactions.

About Me
I’ve been designing for high end Italian and international luxury brands since 1986.
The rest of my time as a designer is spent following the construction and renovation of private homes. This allows me to span in diversity, contaminate my diverse projects and work both in detail and large scale.
By looking at my portfolio you will find designs of delicate artisan-made reading lamps for a remote Tuscan home, as well as 10 story buildings in the heart of bustling urban shopping areas.
Design brings us new habits, where materials, shapes and colors lay the rules for juxtaposition of objects, furniture and the space itself.
My Work
Among my achievements I’ve designed and collaborated in the development of the current Miu Miu and Prada retail concept. I’ve also collaborated in the creation and design of numerous stores both in Italy and around the world, such as: Prada, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, Prada old Bond Street in London, Prada Shinsaebashi building in Osaka, Prada Kowa in Kobe, Prada Canton Road in Hong Kong, Miu Miu via della Spiga in Milan, Miu Miu new Bond Street in London, Miu Miu fifth Ave. in New York City, Miu Miu Ginza Echigoya in Tokyo, Miu Miu Canton Road in Hong Kong.
I’ve also designed many boutiques in prestigious department stores such as Selfridges and Harrods in London, Printemps, Lafayette and Le Bon Marche in Paris, SKP in Beijing, Isetan Shinjuku in Tokyo.
My Approach:
Always looking to find design solutions that combine innovation and tradition, I explore my creativity by combining experience and the esteemed Italian artisanship that I find in and around me. I’m lucky enough to have a network of rare breed artisans, metal makers, wood carvers, tapestry designers and stone masons, that all together allow me to elevate my work.
They are my colleagues, my consultants, my friends and my workers.
