ALMOST VIRGIN

The Holy Virgin, symbol of integrity and virginity, but also a victim of the irony of fate. As a pop icon, it ended up marketed and finally sold off at 50%. Stripped of all its spiritual strength but paradoxically destined to reappear as a sacred religious reference in the home of whoever BUYs it. 2017

Ri Contorsioni

Photographic prints of a contorted and solidified universe. Dense relationships and intersections create a tangle of memories that pushes the individual away from one’s origins. “Ri-contorsioni” is an invitation to melt down and go back to a simpler form, an effort to find lightness and simplicity. 2018

Superufficio

Ironic yet functional and obviously super-light interpretation of the classic office chair Superleggera by Gio’ Ponti for Cassina (superlight chair). Work often keeps us enthralled, or as in the Italian saying “incollati alla sedia” – glued to the chair – but this tribute to Gio’ Ponti is a hymn to light-heartedness instead. Commissioned for the Supercolla Project, curated by Guido Musante and Maria Chiara Valacchi presented at Martina Simeti Art Gallery in Milan. 2018

CUPOLA

A hyper-realistic reproduction of an icon of the eternal city: San Pietro’s dome becomes light, honoring the art and beauty of Italian culture. A unique  blend of craftsmanship and technology. Handpainted, with scenographic dimmer LED lights positioned on the outer architecture and a 2000 lumen central light. Other details are the Brass cross with passing through suspension and electricity cables, the Brass balcony and interior finishes that reproduce Michelangelo’s mosaics.

The result is a hybrid between art and design; between past, present and future; a miraculous dialogue between architecture and avant-garde, history and experimentation, functionality and mystical lighting. 2019
