in 2000 we started working with Aldo Cibic who we took inspiration from.
We are a 360 degree design studio, we work on product design, interiors, retail, architecture....
it's our life
Architecture competitions, thats what we like to do most
One of the most special designs is the Breathing House project.

each brief defines a new approach.
we live in Milan. one of the best cities to be contaminated with new ideas
with an open mind
first of all a good brainstorming.
its difficult because each day is different
sometimes the ideas we think are stupid are the best.don't be afraid to show them
proportion. if you mistake that you fail everything
the sense of life
paper, pen, a computer and a bright mind
impossible to manage. it takes 24h a day in our life, 360 days a year
depends on everything
