Designer of the Day Interview
19 March 2018
I graduated in Architecture in Venice in 2005; I started to work as a freelance, specialized in interior design. In 2013 I exposed for the first time my design products in Salone del Mobile in Milan; by this moment, my work as architect, interior designer and product designer have been deeply linked.
As interior designer I often found in my work recurring needs in furnishing the spaces, which had no easy answer in existing furniture pieces. So came the idea of draw by myself those pieces I imagined can satisfy these needs. My work as designer is deeply linked to my architect profession.
For me it’s important that the object can be discovered in time,that it does not show everything at first glance; it can change with the light of day or it can be used in different ways.I like to integrate plants in my design project: I appreciate a Green touch in interior design and I study different and unusual way to place climbing plants in everyday furniture.
Designer Interview

I’m an architect and an interior designer. I often find in my work recurring needs in furnishing the spaces, which find no easy answer in existing furniture pieces. So came the idea of draw by myself those pieces I imagined can satisfy these needs.
Functionality, aesthetic research,lightness, versatility, irony .
My favourite works are forniture : objects that has a relation with the space in wich they are placed .
I love to work with laser cut, on metal or plexiglass.
When my work starts from a real need.
For me it’s important that the object can be discovered in time,that it does not show everything at first glance; it will change with the light of day and it will be used in different ways.
While I'm developing a project, I’m totally focused on my work, and as long as I do not solve all the points I can’t think of anything else.
luckily, I am usually very proud.

The originality and the courage of the project.
Investigate materials and technologies sustainable.
In Aplril Bolina was at the exhibition celebrating the 20 years of Salone Satellite. The exhibition, called "SaloneSatellite20 years of new creativity" took place in Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan from the 4 to the 25 of April.
Working as architect I often find inspiration in the interior design project that I'm developing; when I bump into requirements that have not yet answers, from there starts a new search.
I like to work with different materials and colors; to mix references to the past and research of the new. I pay attention to the way light interacts with my objects.I want surprise and touch people with my design.
I live in Italy and I studied Architecture in Venice: here is impossible to be indifferent to beauty and art. I do not presume to say that my style shows something of the artistic culture of my country : it is too vast and important. Definitely my taste was influenced in the search of composition,of alternation of lights and shades,of combination of colors.
an open mind and the intuition to understand the needs unexpressed.
I often do material models:it helps me to think
