Thanks to objects which represent the history of Italian design the interiors become a stage for connecting with shapes and materials of the tradition of this region. Discreet presences able to give new meanings to ancient places.  Image Courtesy © DWA Design Studio

Adaptable furniture inspired by handmade crafts offer new micro-habitats in which different activities can coexist, as in an artist atelier where everyday life is interwoven with work, art and culture. Domestic spaces where conviviality and conversation are essential, not only between people but also between them and the spirit of the place in which they are staying.

When we started, we were convinced that two heads and two sets of hands were better than one. Today our office relies on a few more heads and hands, but the basic idea has not changed. We are a careful multidisciplinary reality aware of the changes around us. We have different gazes but we share the same vision. We value our roots, but we strive to nourish them with new stimuli. In our work we interlace solidity and fluidity, complying the creative process to the many ways of living. We dialogue across-the-board with the world of design, fashion and living, ranging from interior to exhibition design, from retail to art direction to product research.

We design concept stores and shop windows to enshrine or enhance items and precious accessories. We create sets, installations and site-specific works for temporary exhibitions and events in the field of fashion, luxury and design. From large to small, from the container to the content, we give identity to our projects from concept to completion, turning them into creative solutions in accord with our customers’ needs.

We love the surprise, the detail that can reinvent objects freeing them from their ordinary function. We investigate the essence of shapes and materials to create new combinations and contrasts. We love mixing high and low, simple and complex, minimalism and abundance, pure lines and details able to embellish them. From the sheet of an old notebook to the gold of a safety blanket turned into a rug or a bright ceiling, every day we invent a new alphabet of living.
