For many years he served as Artistic Director at Ditre Italia, and continues to guide creative vision for other furniture brands. His approach endows each creation with meaning, narrative, and emotional resonance, crafted to include the consumer in its story. Today, his studio focuses especially on sophisticated solutions tailored for compact, refined living environments. His process is defined by creativity, flexibility, responsibility, and an intrinsic human touch.
