VISION

What do we need today?

“Products that don't take resources away from the planet. I believe that good design can still improve the quality of our lives, but it must be respectful of the environment and the materials we use. Products must be conceived as durable and easthetically timeless, not only according to current trends. It is essential to reflect on the life span of objects, using renewable raw materials that do not produce waste and that can be reused several times, following the view of circular economy. A new perspective on design, based on a principle of responsibility and sustainability“
