We are a product design studio based in Milan. Our curiosity for the world around us and our drive to grow through our work push us to take on new and exciting design challenges every day, challenges we love to share with the people and brands we collaborate with.
Alessandro Mattia
Graduated in Industrial Design from Politecnico di Milano, I employ a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses every stage of the creative process—with a strong focus on both the functional and emotional meaning of products, as well as their sustainability.
Research and experimentation drive me to explore each project from fresh perspectives, aiming to develop innovative responses to the ever-evolving nature of contemporary living.
Gloria Gianatti
I graduated as an Interior Designer from Politecnico di Milano and honed my craft in Mexico City, where I was struck by the intensity of natural light—how it powerfully animates the materials and colors of that land.
Upon returning to Italy, I deepened my fascination with light, merging it with my innate passion for photography and cinema. I specialized in Cinematography, Photo & Video Editing, and became a teaching assistant for the “Cinema Culture” course in Movie Design at Politecnico di Milano.
These influences shape my design approach: a meticulous eye for detail, a focus on the interplay of light and shadow, and a profound awareness of the relationship between human, object, and space, three pillars central to every project I undertake.
