What does made in Italy mean to you?

"Made in Italy" is synonymous with creativity, modernity and most importantly, beauty.

Who or what has inspired your work and style?

My family has always been my inspiration. I decorate my house (and yours) so that the space takes loving care of the people who live there. Every piece of furniture is selected carefully so that it belongs with the rest of the room but never looks boring.

Beautiful craftsmanship is what gives furniture personality. A chair is pretty boring without interesting lines and thoughtful upholstery. I love great design because it makes ordinary things look beautiful.

Describe your design approach and philosophy.

My main job as a designer is to figure out how the client lives and what he loves. Put it all together and make it super comfortable.

What is the one décor you cannot imagine your clients or yourself living without?

I could never live without at least one super deep sofa. That sofa is where I drop after a long day of work and that's were I truly unwind. It helps if the fabric is soft and I can put buy feet up.

What is your idea of the 'ultimate luxury'?

Luxury is where beauty and comfort meet. The challenge in design is to find pieces that are beautiful, functional and comfortable. All of the parts in the room need to work together.
