The Frame upholstered piece originates from a reflection on structure as the primary principle of design. Its very name is not a decorative reference, but a declarative statement
the frame as a generative element, a matrix that supports, defines and delineates. The seat, wide and deep, is constructed through compact volumes upholstered in leather, conceived for measured and continuous comfort. Solid, almost monolithic blocks alternate with calibrated voids, generating a composition that finds its balance in contrast. The hollowed armrest, clad in metal, becomes both a structural and expressive element. Not an accessory, but a contemporary architrave: a taut line that frames the space, establishing a clear dialogue between mass and lightness, solidity and absence.
Within this alternation lies the project’s brutalist character—not as a stylistic quotation, but as an attitude. As in brutalist architecture, detail is not concealed but affirmed. The tension between warm and cool materials—leather and metal—reinforces this identity. Comfort engages with rigidity, softness with precision. Frame does not soften structure; it makes it inhabitable. The sofa thus takes shape as a domestic micro-architecture, where the frame does not simply contain the body, but defines a posture, a way of inhabiting space.
The Bachi armchair originated in the 1960s from a playful and free approach to design, characteristic of the most experimental phase of Italian design.
Titan is a dining table designed to complement the Basalt island or function as a standalone piece. The Negresco marble top, dark and veined, rests on asymmetrical legs.
In the name Bloomington, the verb “to bloom” resonates. Yet here, the blossoming is architectural—a construction of form in space.
The Bold sofa takes shape as a coherent evolution of architectural legacies into an even more essential, compact and radical presence, where design asserts itself as a habitable sculpture and a con
Catskill makes an immediate impact with its declared strength — a primordial energy that recalls the mountain region west of the Hudson Valley from which it takes its name.
The Cigno armchair, designed by Vittorio Varo in the late 1960s, represents one of the most refined expressions of the experimental phase of Italian design during that period.
Core emerges as an expression of the original nucleus of light and architecture, placing the structural heart at the center as a generative and identity-defining principle of space.
Gea, from the Greek word for “earth,” explores the relationship between light and matter through a language inspired by geological processes.
Joker is conceived as a tribute to the organic and sensorial imagery of the Seventies, reinterpreted through a contemporary language that unites memory and vision.
