New collaborations come with Living Divani, Doreland and C3CO. Pragmatic but visionary, theatrical but discreet, experimental but brand oriented. In short, at time intuition, often research,other company input represents the start for discussion. Every product has its own story, where the unknowns of design, thought and production always have to be translated into ideas that are not ends in themselves, but aimed at a market the brand already works in and wants to further explore through diversification. The attempt in always to send perceptible messages through products, an intrinsic added value that translates into emotion, reflection or an intelligent solution.
