Wednesday, 12 March 2014
Have you seen Fruitscape? In my opinion it is the object par excellence, so elegant, harmonious, it really is the most beautiful design object of the century. To lean a fruit upon it is a ritual, it seems to be wrapped up when it goes to lie down in the space designed for it. A
Design in 400 words: Silvia Censi
Wednesday, 29 January 2014
I met Silvia during a cooking course which was held in a friends’ restaurant, not that I’m a cooking-lover woman… not nearly. I do not know how yet, but I created some tortelli, physically making the pasta and the filling, amazing! It’s just like chef Gusteau says in Disney’s “Ratatouille”: “anyone can cook”. Returning to

Wednesday, 15 January 2014
Insiders know Giorgio Tartaro since the beginning of his career, but “next door” design enthusiasts approach his professional career following his Tv shows.

It was thanks to Johann Wolfgang Goethe that the (Christmas) tree appears for the first time in the great literature, in his famous work The sorrows of young Werther. The year was 1774. It is said, however, that the first was “spotted” in Tallinn, Estonia, a few years before. It was 1441 and it seems

Design in 400 words: the screens by Romeo Sozzi
Wednesday, 27 November 2013
I meet Romeo Sozzi in his showroom in Via Bagutta, Milan, during the Salone del Mobile, a quick meeting, a presentation, a handshake of the landlord in a beautiful outdoor concept, almost exotic in an interior, classic, downtown Milan.

Books to love, to hate, to study, to eat, to read, to browse… the list could be endless. For someone are true objects of worship, for others are the purpose of a life and almost a mission, for others work or pleasure. And for someone they become a fashion accessory: recycled or designed ex novo,
