For us, good Design is more than a simple matter of shape or nice “packaging”. We think that true design transfuses the totality of the product and is integral to the process of creation.
Design focused products should be conscious, typical examples of the time and culture they belong to. The objects which surround us should materially translate everything that belongs to us: our thoughts, our fears, our dreams.Being concerned with design means relying on objects to suggest new lifestyles, new ways of living and moving.
The aesthetics and technology inherent in new materials represents an extraordinary opportunity, not only to improve the comfort of the object, but to improve on it’s expressiveness. In so far as considering tecnology doesn’t mean only a constraint, while enriching the creative process.
Finally we believe that objects play a communicative role through all their components: there is no shape without a surface, which, in turn, results from the material, which depends on the technology used.
