Solid wood furniture is a safe and sustainable investment! It is raw wood, meaning that it has been extracted from the tree and transformed into planks without undergoing any modification or gluing. It is used in its natural state. This makes it a noble and environmentally friendly wood. This is what makes it the most expensive type of wood. While the price of solid wood furniture may sometimes seem rather high, it is nevertheless a long-term investment. Solid wood gives furniture a high quality that allows it to last over time.

Choosing solid wood guarantees that your furniture will have a very long life. It is a good way to prioritize elegance without compromising on quality. However, it is important to note that it requires maintenance (varnishing, cleaning, etc.), but if well cared for, it will last a very long time.

Marble doesn’t just cover surfaces—it sets the tone and rhythm of a room. Its color, veining, and texture interact with light throughout the day, creating subtle shifts that make a space feel alive. When paired with materials like warm wood, soft textiles, or cool metals, marble balances contrast and harmony, giving interiors depth and layered interest.

In our projects, we consider how each slab will be experienced—from the way a countertop catches morning light to how a wall panel frames a view. Veins can guide the eye, highlight architectural features, or create focal points, while texture and finish contribute to the room’s tactile and visual atmosphere.

What is cannage? Cannage is a weaving technique using natural plant fibers—specifically rattan cane—mainly applied to create the seat or backrest of a chair. Rattan cane is a plant known for its flexibility and exceptional strength, making it ideal for this traditional craft.

Cannage was imported from Asia by our English and Dutch neighbors in the 1660s. Its popularity grew in the 1700s when it began to be used in royal court furniture, thanks to its many advantages—namely, its strength and lightness.

What is it that makes architecture truly breathtaking? What is it that, when you stand in front of it, makes you simply say “wow” and feel as though time has stopped?

Architecture is a complex art—indeed, a blend of many elements coming together. It’s about space and material, time and history, nature and context, emotions and perception. The combination of these elements can create something magical that goes beyond human rationality.

When it comes to design, I believe in trusting your gut. Taste isn’t something you can teach, so I select designs by falling in love with them. My branding background helps me choose partners who align with my vision, looking for brands that tell a compelling story and photograph well. Ultimately, each piece on my site is something I’ve fallen in love with.

We’ve just returned from Milan, heads full of color, shapes, materials—and stories. This year’s Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone reminded us why we keep coming back: design here doesn’t just sit pretty; it moves, surprises, provokes. Here’s what caught our eyes, hearts, and imaginations at Milan Design Week 2025.
