Zero Design Festival
I’ve been involved into this fantastic project made by Zero, one of the prettiest city guide out there. The event lasted three days and was held in Milan, less than one month before Milan Design Week to warm up everybody involved in design industry. It has been absolutely fabulous, many talks, a live auction, events,...
Something Good is becoming real!

SomethingGood will become a company, designing, producing and selling nice items involving all the expert handicraftsmen that made great Italy in product design. All with great respect of their business, avoiding the big industry issues that usually make prices rising...

Flynn
FLYNN is a 3d-printed vase, where a three-dimensional matrix defines a shape whose silhouette reminds an archetipal pottery vase. The matte white matrix lean on a purple glass, onto which you can pour water.
Bundled
BUNDLED is a range of furniture born from a research in fibers made in 2011 while deepening the use of natural composite fiberboards. The material used is a special cotton fiberboard, normally rigid and stiff, usually used for insulation in electronic appliances (it’s used as a support for guitars’ electric pickups) or as a gap-filler...
Sable
A mono-block LED lamp that visually self-declare itself, easy to understand, where all the parts are extremely clear and recognizable. The technology used to produce the body is metal sand casting, because it generates a complete part and allows cost reduction. The lamp shade is intentionally quite small, because I wanted to stress the fact...
Edition of Nine
As we did the past year, this year me and my colleagues and friends of Something Good, managed to rent a space in Ventura Lambrate, even more beautiful than in 2011, with the support of CNA Vicenza (the national craftsmans’ association), where we will exhibit a full range of new products crafted by expert italian craftsman....
YaLog
Glass is always facinating. An ancient material, made of sand and fire, bent by human hand and breath, shows its double nature, liquid and solid, and keeps touching us, from its shaping to when it enters our houses. In furnaces I learned the meaning of labour, and the passion of people moulding it. I knew...

Check the website we put online with our smily faces! Here is the press release for the exhibitions. Hope we’ll meet there! Should we trace...
Torii
Japanese shinto shrines are introduced by huge gates, made in wood, called Torii. They’re characterized by some basic, linear elements assembled in a firm and solid way, and their columns are often tapered. This chair is somehow near to the structure of the gate, since almost every part is lathed with a precise angle to...
Aquilles
Using reflection to cast indirect light onto the desk. This is what Achille Castiglioni thought for its Gibigiana lamp. His lamp is roughly an empty cone, into which the bulb is placed while, on the top, an adjustable tilting mirror reflects the light. In the same way, Aquilles reflects the light casted by a bulb...
