From the pruning of the laurel branches a very light and flexible chair / sculpture was born, inspired by the "chair for short visits" of the master Bruno Munari, of which I am proud to have been his pupil in Milan in the 1980s.
I am the son of the economic boom of the 1960s and since I was a child I was attracted to waste materials such as car demolitions and there was a strong desire to transform them into completely new objects such as tables, bookcases, lamps.
I have always liked to experiment with any material from wood to ceramic, from iron to glass with my hands and find harmony in the shapes, try new processing techniques.
This is how the Le Meduse project was born in 1993, light sculptures made only of waste glass and light, which travel around the world.
My mantra is, to experiment and play with (possibly waste) materials and be inspired by the shapes, structures and colors of nature.
True happiness comes from the enthusiasm to create new things.
Antoine de Saint Exupery.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
