‘I believe a good interior should feel inevitable.
Not because it follows a particular style or trend, but because every decision within it has a reason. For me, timelessness comes from honesty: understanding the architecture, listening carefully to the people who will live or work in the space, and making choices that genuinely belong to the brief.
I always start with what is already there. Character and history are my guidelines. When there are architectural elements worth preserving, I prefer to work with them rather than ignore them. I find that the most interesting interiors are often created through a dialogue between what a space was and what it needs to become.
The part of design I enjoy most is drafting the plan.
I am particularly interested in layout and circulation, and in finding ways to make a space feel more generous than its dimensions suggest, while exploring its full potential. Fixed furniture is part of that thinking from the beginning: it should resolve functional problems while remaining quietly integrated into the architecture. Often, the architecture itself evolves around these elements. I believe that value is created here, before finishes, loose furniture or decoration are introduced. A well-resolved plan can fundamentally change how a home feels and how well it works.
I care deeply about the transition from drawing to reality. I work closely with my construction team from the earliest stages of a project because I want the built space to retain the clarity of the original idea without compromise. Good design should survive construction — and, ultimately, everyday life.
My approach to colour and texture changes from project to project. Sometimes colour and material become part of the architecture; sometimes I deliberately keep the architecture quiet and allow personality to enter through furniture and objects. What matters to me is that the choice belongs to the project, rather than to a trend.
Background:
My background has shaped my approach to design. I studied at the Politecnico di Milano, following earlier studies at Academy Minerva in Groningen and the École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris. Working across the Netherlands, Spain, Indonesia and Italy has exposed me to different ways of thinking about space and living. Since founding my practice in Milan in 2019, I have brought these influences together across residential, office and exhibition projects, always responding to the character of each space and the people who inhabit it.
I don’t want my interiors to be recognizable because they look like my work. I want them to be recognizable because they feel right for the people who inhabit them.’
