A short break in Stockholm to recharge and soak in fresh inspiration. Created many memorable moments around Scandinavian design, colours, strong and calm ambiances, thoughtful and lots of nature and art that inspires new ideas!

This year, outdoor furniture was everywhere at Salone — a beautiful reminder that nature and design aren’t at odds, but can grow together.

A play of form, light, and shadow that doesn’t just fill space, but shifts it — captured at Milan Design Week.

A design by @tom_fereday , developed in collaboration with the Australian brand @rakumba_lighting and featured at the @valcucine showroom in Milan.

Milan Design Week 2025 – Salone & Fuorisalone

The week began aboard the Arlecchino train for the Prada Frames talk organised by Forma Fantasma - a thought-provoking session with Marta Foresti from LAGO Collective, a friend and a true source of inspiration, pushing the boundaries of design in society.

From there, it was all on foot - weaving through showrooms, exhibitions, and spontaneous discoveries across the city. A feast of colours, materials, finishes… and light. This year felt especially luminous with Euroluce returning for its biennial edition at Salone del Mobile.

I’m leaving with a creative boost and a clear sense of where trends are heading — even if my heart stays loyal to timeless ambiances and thoughtful combinations.

Highlights from the week:
• Dedar with Anni Albers fabrics at Torre Velasca — with views to match
• Delta Light installation at Palazzo Litta— surprising and immersive
• Library of Light by Es Devlin at Pinacoteca di Brera — a reflective pause of inspiration
• Nilufar Gallery — always a treasure trove
• E15 + Rakumba + Valcucine — an elegant, thoughtful combination
• Capsule Plaza — cool vibe, fresh perspective
• Time & Style showroom — serene and sharp
• Atelier Vierkant’s stand — sculptural and grounding, echoing Richard Serra
• Ondarreta and Blond — bold, smart, and refreshingly playful
• Flos, Vibia, and Santa & Cole — elegance, refined as ever

Too much to choose from - here’s a little photodump from the camera roll.

After a site visit in Lisbon, here’s a glimpse of what’s taking shape. More to be revealed soon!

Looking Back | Abanque 2004-2024

After a quick visit to @appletonassociacaocultural, we revisited our contribution to the Abanque 2004-2024 exhibition. This intervention on a simple, archetypal stool takes us back to its origins - the tree.

The white-painted legs recall how trees are treated to prevent plagues, while the carved heart echoes marks left on bark by human hands. Every detail reminds us of its natural past, bridging the gap between raw material and crafted objects.

Olhar para Trás | Abanque 2004-2024

Depois de uma visita rápida à @appletonassociacaocultural , revisitámos a nossa contribuição para a exposição Abanque 2004-2024. Esta intervenção sobre um banco simples e arquetípico leva-nos de volta às suas origens – a árvore.

As pernas pintadas de branco evocam os tratamentos aplicados às árvores para prevenir pragas, enquanto o coração entalhado remete para as marcas deixadas na casca pelas mãos humanas. Cada detalhe lembra-nos do seu passado natural, ligando a matéria-prima ao objeto criado.
