Club:
Born in Forlì. She graduates in Architecture at the University of Ferrara. She gets the MA in Design at Domus Academy.
From 2004 until July 2012 she collaborates with James Irvine, as his right-hand person, growing an international knowledge and vision. From 2014 until April 2017 she gives continuity to the studio together with Marialaura Rossiello Irvine under the name of Studio Irvine. From May 2017 she runs her own business and she set her design studio in Milano. She is also periodically teaches at Naba, Domus Academy and Marangoni Institute in Milan.
Her design approach is based on a continuous personal interaction with clients, technicians, materials. She focuses on product design, exhibition design and art direction. The art direction activity has led her to develop a personal vision and sensitivity towards the communication of products, often pushing her to deal with the concept and set of photo shoots.

Handles have always been very attractive to me. It is the part on which our gaze inevitably rests whenever we have to relate to a door, a passage, an entrance. It leaves us with a feeling that, unknowingly, changes our state of mind when we cross the threshold.

Since 2 years I am art directing a small Italian brand named Fucina. It born from the passion of a blacksmith who has incredible skills, not only manually but also technically. It is a great pleasure to have the chance to learn more and more about metals! This is the polishing process of one of my product, Tavolotto. 📸 @defino_sl

Tavolotto appears monolithic, almost as if made out of a single block, but it is not. It is welded, then polished so perfectly that it fools you. 📸 @miro_zagnoli .

Here I was sailing in Greece and both our boat and the others are anchored in a bay. To be anchored in deep is translated in Italian as “stare alla fonda”.

This is one of the first model we made of my table Fonda. The base will be in concrete. So I named it Fonda referring to the seafaring term. Something which is kept fix on the ground thanks to its heaviness.

Torso of a young man. Brancusi 1923. Mono materia is always very attractive since it gives a monolithic aspect to the piece.
