WHERE THE WATER WRITES ON THE WALLS

Como enters this house before you do. It comes as reflected light — that trembling net cast across the ceiling from the pool, moving all day like a second lake overhead.

The rooms answer with a language of their own. Boiserie of wood and metal, carved into slow undulations, a new collection drawn together with @mtluxurywood .

Grain and burnished alloy alternate along the same wall, so the surface seems to breathe with the water it faces. Behind the bed, above the pool, the pattern repeats like a tide that never fully withdraws.

In the double-height living space, metal lifts off the wall and becomes gesture. A brass branch unfurls from the ceiling, half botanical, half constellation, realized with @barone_italia .

Below it, soft curved seating gathers in the low light, and the lake keeps its steady presence beyond the glass.

The house asks how one lives inside a view this complete. Its reply is patience — surfaces that listen, and let Como finish the sentence.

ATTRAVERSARE IL VUOTO

Nel deserto la materia impara a sparire. @barone_italia posa un monolite di acciaio specchiante sulla sabbia, e la parete restituisce il cielo fino a confondersi con esso. Restano i cerchi. Tre aperture bianche, sospese tra la duna e il vuoto, che di giorno custodiscono una scala verso il basso e di notte si accendono come lune costruite.

Penso a Nancy Holt e ai suoi Sun Tunnels, quei condotti puntati sulle stelle del deserto. Penso alla casa specchiata di Doug Aitken, dissolta nel paesaggio. Qui la stessa idea torna nel linguaggio dell’artigianato metallico: la lastra riflette, il cerchio invita, la soglia rimane ferma.

Il cerchio è la forma più antica della domanda. Attraversarlo vuol dire scegliere una direzione tra il sopra e il sotto, tra la luce del meriggio e il silenzio del sottosuolo.

Cosa accade quando l’architettura sceglie di ascoltare il paesaggio prima di parlare?

TWO STATES, ONE VIEW

Venice, from a palazzo window. The Salute rises across the water, centuries of stone worked like lace. Inside, two cabinets hold their own dialogue with that skyline.

One stays closed. A smoked oak monolith, the gold fracture running down its spine like a vein of light held in reserve. Discipline. Patience. The pleasure not yet named.

The other opens. Brass warms every bottle, rare vintages climb toward the center, crystal turns in its lit case. The rite begins.

Between the two, the whole gesture: what we keep, and what we choose to reveal.

Set here against the lagoon, the piece finds its natural register — not competing with the city, answering it. Wood becomes story again.

THE FRACTURE THAT LETS LIGHT IN

Closed, it’s a monolith. A block of smoked oak that tells you nothing but the patience of waiting. Then, down the center, a fracture: raw hammered gold, a wound someone chose not to hide.

Open, the silence turns to theater. Warm brass lights each bottle like a relic. Rare vintages rise at the center. Crystal turns inside its lit case. What was severe becomes ritual — the old gesture of pouring, sharing, celebrating.

Not a bar cabinet. A threshold between the discipline of matter and the pleasure it protects.

Designed for @mtluxurywood , where wood stops being surface and becomes story again.

TIME, INTERRUPTED.

Faded skies still cling to these walls. Angels dissolve into the plaster. A statue keeps watch over a century that won’t return.

Into this almost liturgical ruin, something alive takes its place. Burnished brass. Antiqued mercury glass. Marble cut as a single block. Vitrines guarding fragments and small relics of a tomorrow.

@barone_italia ’s surfaces ask no permission of the past. They meet it eye to eye — light rekindling what decay had dimmed, a promise set beside a memory.

A project living on the threshold, where memory and contemporary matter recognize each other without erasing one another.

KLEE

A soft body, held inside a sheath of metal.

The leather curls inward, still becoming. The burnished shell keeps watch over it — half armour, half caress.

Where hide gives way to brass, the chair confesses what it is made of: tenderness that needed a hard edge to be believed.

To sit here is to sit inside a pause. A form caught between what it was and what it refuses to finish being.

Two skins for one creature — one charcoal and grieving, one warm as cured amber — because transformation never arrives in a single colour.

Designed in Milano, slowly, without apology.

THE POETICS OF LIGHT AND MATTER

A sculptural dialogue between nature, craftsmanship and architecture.

A backlit onyx monolith reveals the hidden beauty of stone, while a metal bonsai rises above it as a symbol of resilience, balance and transformation.

An essential composition where light becomes matter, and matter becomes art.

MILANO DESIGN WEEK 2026 — METROQUALITY ATELIER

From April 21 to 26, we will be in the heart of @breradesigndistrict at @metroquality Atelier, Via Solferino 24 — the first “Appartamento Manifesto” by MetroQuality.

A real, lived-in space where materials become architecture.

Designed by @r6003studio and brought to life by @statuscontract , the Atelier goes beyond the concept of a showroom, offering a tangible vision of how surfaces and craftsmanship shape contemporary living.

Within this setting, @barone_italia will present a new sculptural work inspired by vine branches and leaves in brass — a reflection on matter as a living, evolving language

During the week, the space will also host “The Suite”, a temporary pop-up installation conceived specifically for this edition, alongside the official opening of MetroQuality ATELIER.

A place to experience architecture through materials, details, and atmosphere.

MILANO DESIGN WEEK 2026 — METROQUALITY ATELIER

Dal 21 al 26 aprile saremo nel cuore di @breradesigndistrict , in Via Solferino 24, all’interno di @metroquality Atelier, il primo “Appartamento Manifesto” di MetroQuality.

Uno spazio reale e vissuto, dove i materiali diventano architettura.

Progettato da @r6003studio e realizzato da @statuscontract , l’Atelier supera il concetto di showroom, offrendo una visione concreta di come superfici e lavorazioni possano trasformare lo spazio contemporaneo.

In questo contesto, @barone_italia presenterà una nuova scultura ispirata ai rami e alle foglie di vite in ottone — una riflessione sulla materia come linguaggio vivo, in continua evoluzione.

Durante la settimana, lo spazio ospiterà anche “The Suite”, un’installazione pop-up temporanea ideata per questa edizione, insieme all’apertura ufficiale di MetroQuality ATELIER.

Un luogo da attraversare, più che da osservare.

@interiordesignmilano & @interiordesignlakecomo come together in this project where design elements merge to create one of a kind project.

This villa on Lake Como begins with observation.
The architecture defines the order: generous heights, ornamental plasterwork, and axial views toward the landscape.

The intervention follows a disciplined approach. Historic elements remain intact and legible. Contemporary insertions introduce clarity and control through metal volumes and precise geometries.

Light becomes the primary material, shaping depth and proportion across the interiors.

I see design as a calibration between memory and vision. When balanced, space acquires permanence and quiet intensity.

Developed in collaboration with Interior Design Lake Como, this project reflects a shared expertise in historic contexts, preserving identity while guiding spaces toward a refined contemporary condition.
We manage complete renovations and bespoke interior design projects.

For inquiries and collaborations, feel free to get in touch with us.

PARIS, VOLUME & LIGHT

Design becomes powerful the moment it feels inevitable.

This concept for a fashion store in Paris, developed with @statuscontract starts from the space itself. The existing architecture—ornate ceilings, classical proportions, refined wall details—is allowed to breathe, becoming the foundation of the project.

A contemporary layer of steel, reflective surfaces and pure volumes is introduced with precision, creating a clear and controlled spatial rhythm. I’ve always believed that retail design today is about subtraction: when space is defined with clarity, the experience follows naturally.

Display elements read as architectural gestures, while light moves freely across materials, shaping perception and depth. It is light that builds the atmosphere, giving weight and presence to every surface.

The result is a quiet balance between heritage and contemporary language—where memory and function coexist, and where design reveals itself through clarity rather than excess.

LIGHT, MATTER, SILENCE — A MILAN LOFT

In this loft, the architecture is essential: double heights, vertical wooden slats, metal-clad walls that capture and reflect light. Sunlight enters sharply, drawing diagonal cuts across surfaces. I’ve always believed light is the first material of any project; everything else is a consequence.

At the center stands the sculptural tree by @barone_italia , enclosed in glass like a contemporary relic. Not decoration, but presence. Around it, custom metal claddings give depth and texture — matter here is layered, tactile, intentional.

The living area softens the rigor. The curved sofas and armchairs by @vibieffe introduce balance and comfort, tempering architectural strength with generous forms. Architecture defines the structure; upholstery defines the rhythm.

Design, to me, should never shout. It should hold tension and release in equal measure. In this loft, contrast becomes harmony — metal and marble, glass and fabric, shadow and light — all part of one coherent narrative.

VILLA BECKER — HERITAGE REIMAGINED

Villa Becker, on the hills of Turin, stands as a reminder that Italy’s historic architecture is not a relic, but a responsibility. Revaluing our artistic heritage means giving it continuity, not nostalgia.

In my renovation concept, frescoes, vaults and original stone remain intact as living memory. Contemporary elements—brass, marble, sculptural forms—enter with restraint, creating dialogue rather than contrast.

I believe architecture should not freeze time, but carry it forward. When past and present speak the same language, heritage becomes relevant again.

I’m happy to share that @dentrocasa ’s February print issue features an in-depth interview dedicated to my work, vision, and ongoing research on materials, space, and design.

A moment to slow down and reflect on how architecture, interior design, and craftsmanship can merge into a coherent language—one made of matter, time, and intention.

Grateful to the editorial team for the thoughtful conversation and for giving space to a narrative that goes beyond form, touching on process, identity, and experimentation.

ARCHITECTURE AS A QUIET PRESENCE

This multibrand fashion concept store in Barcelona was conceived as a inhabited sculpture.

Working alongside @statuscontract , I approached the project by allowing architecture to act as a silent framework rather than a statement.

Classical proportions, columns and decorative details coexist with contemporary elements in metal, glass and refined finishes. The dialogue between past and present is deliberate yet restrained: history becomes a functional tool, never a decorative shortcut.

Natural light plays a central role, shaping volumes and revealing textures with calm precision.

The layout is fluid, designed to slow the pace, encourage exploration and leave room for the garments to breathe. Furniture works as architectural punctuation, guiding movement without imposing it.

I believe interior design reaches its best expression when it supports experience rather than dominating it. Here, balance replaces excess, and materiality becomes a form of language.

The project speaks through relationships: between light and matter, architecture and function, heritage and contemporary retail design.

At the closing days of @maisonetobjet , we’re proud to present the Ginkgo coffee tables, a limited-edition capsule born within Radici — a collection that explores material, memory, and transformation.

Inspired by the ginkgo leaf, a timeless symbol of resilience and continuity, these tables translate nature into matter: brass surfaces shaped by hand, tactile textures that catch the light, and proportions designed to invite intimacy rather than spectacle.

Presented in Paris over the past days, the collection has been met with an enthusiastic and thoughtful response. We are deeply grateful to all the visitors, architects, designers, and collectors who stopped by, shared impressions, and engaged in dialogue. That exchange is where design truly comes alive.

This capsule is part of Radici, developed in collaboration with @barone_italia , where craftsmanship, experimentation, and a contemporary vision of Italian savoir-faire converge.

Thank you for making this presentation such a meaningful moment.

RADICI — AT MAISON&OBJET

Today the doors of Maison&Objet open, and with them a new chapter for Radici, the collection I designed in collaboration with @barone_italia

Radici was born from a simple, almost physical question: how can matter remember?
Metal becomes surface, surface becomes gesture. Each piece carries traces of time, craftsmanship, and intention—objects conceived not to decorate a space, but to give it depth and identity.

At @maisonetobjet the collection takes shape within a setting that reflects our shared vision: essential, tactile, quietly expressive. A dialogue between material culture and contemporary design, where brass and metal are treated as living elements, capable of evolving and aging with grace.

If you’re in Paris these days, I invite you to experience Radici in person.
