Second iteration about the Loop project, specifically focused on seating. This time I’ve worked more on the pieces in order to have three module maximum. Every seating shares 90% of the modules except for the straight pipes. This extremely flexible modularity gives lots of possibility to create seating with different proportions so I’ve created different moods for each one.

Loop N.2

This project is built around a modular metal system that becomes the foundation for different explorations within the home environment. Instead of designing each object independently, everything starts from the same structural language: a sequence of curved metal modules that define proportions, rhythm, and a soft yet precise geometry.From this shared toolkit, the project branches into various directions — from reflective pieces to lighting and furniture — each one emerging through subtle changes rather than radical redesigns. Adding a surface, removing a segment, introducing a light diffuser, or shifting the balance between openness and solidity is enough to generate a new expression while preserving a clear visual continuity.The aim is to show how a single constructive logic can remain flexible, sculptural, and coherent across categories. The system becomes a framework for experimentation, allowing different functions to coexist under one unified and recognisable identity.

This lamp began as a very simple impulse: the desire to explore a form without needing to justify it. No manifesto, no intention of rethinking light, no attempt to redesign a typology that has already been redesigned a thousand times. It started as a personal exercise — a space to let intuition speak before function, meaning, or technical innovation. Sometimes that’s enough to put things in motion.I often think of objects as quiet companions. They don’t need to raise their voice to exist; they just need the right balance of presence and restraint. With this piece, I wanted to see what would happen if I focused purely on that balance. A few volumes, a few transitions, a few decisions about how light hits a surface. Nothing more elaborate than that. Just an opportunity to look closely, slow down, and understand what makes a form feel “right” even before I’m able to articulate why.

Annàlia was born as an homage to the time held within wood—a celebration of its essence beyond its visible form. Even the name itself recalls the idea of years, of time layered and woven into the fibers of a living, ever-changing material.Each trunk carries a visual narrative in its grain, like a natural chronicle telling the story of a unique being. The design process focused closely on the natural rhythm of these veins, alternating between tension and release: the tight, regular rigatino lines mark time with a visual cadence that draws the eye and sets the stage for transformation. Where the grain opens up and flares into bold figures, the strength of the material emerges—enriching the surface with depth and intensity.This almost diagrammatic optical effect invites us to perceive the passage of time, prompting a deeper observation of the shifting natural lines etched into the wood’s surface. Annàlia’s soul—specifically designed to enhance this intrinsic narrative—resides especially in its legs: essential yet balanced, they complete the composition with a geometric presence that’s subtle yet distinct. Slender but sturdy, they serve as the silent support to a visual journey through the continuity of the grain, allowing the wood to speak in its purest form.This interplay between flat, sloped, and curved surfaces highlights the coherence of the material, maintaining a balance between formal simplicity and intrinsic complexity. The design evolves as it flows through these shapes—a tangible trace of time made visible in every vein.Annàlia is not just a piece of furniture—it is a project that gives meaning to the use of solid cedar wood, a precious and demanding material, both to produce and to regenerate. Every grain, every curve, is a conscious choice—a tribute to the time and natural resources needed to create something so authentic.In this way, Annàlia becomes more than a crafted object: it’s a celebration of both craftsmanship and care for nature. A tribute to a material that carries within it years of life and memory.

"Cœlum" was my submission for the Muuto Design Contest 001, born from the idea of introducing a more grounded, substantial presence within Muuto’s airy, lightweight collection. I wanted to create a piece that balanced solid mass with the brand’s modern, refined aesthetic, using ceramic as the key material to embrace organic imperfections and hand-crafted uniqueness.While the project wasn’t selected, it was an invaluable opportunity to refine my approach to materials, textures, and form. The exploration of layered visual effects, gradient glazing, and intentional surface irregularities pushed me to think deeper about how craftsmanship and innovation coexist. This process not only shaped the design but also reinforced my vision of creating objects that feel both sculptural and functional.

DAZE commissioned me to create photorealistic renders for their Urban and Duo products. The objective was to showcase their sleek design through a clean, minimal, and tech-inspired aesthetic. This was my first project in the tech industry, making it an exciting and stimulating challenge that pushed me to refine my approach to product visualization. The final visuals highlight the refined details and modern appeal of both products, aligning with DAZE's innovative vision.Discover more about DAZE at www.daze.eu

A new piece of furniture capable of revolutionizing the use of space, combining the function of a wardrobe with a relaxation / work station at height. In this sense, design becomes the enabler of a unique experience, capable of raising people’s point of view and radically changing their perception of space. New Habits is a furniture whose objective is making flexible the space, but even more the habits, by redesigning relationships and co-habitations exploiting height to divide the space. We are ZUMMAUT, a young collective that is shaping up between experimentation and research. The polyhedric background of the group, made of many different experiences, allows to reach uncommon findings, through several areas of reflection and design. New Habits confirmed project and design agreement between the components of the group - Alberto Massara, Luca Magistrali, Marco Merafina, Alice Platania and Giacomo Quinland - offering them the right opportunity to move into the competitive and challenging world of post-academic design Made for Xilografia Photo credits: Max Rommel

A collection of ten hand-blown artifacts in borosilicate glass, a delicate and elegant material. The artifacts, designed to be oblique in order to fit on an oblique plane, are constantly moving on structures that have an inclination of 27 degrees. The chromatic choice of black, orange and white defines the space with clean and geometric lines. A composition in constant movement, an interactive installation where the visitor is called to experience inclination as an experiential space. I designed "Horizon" a simple flower vase in which is incorporated a tripod system that allows you to position the vase in different ways, giving different perceptions of what is for us the visual horizon (the small amber tube), moving it from time to time.
