Their research is a dialogue about art, design and craft with a deep care of matter, process and details. In their works they investigate a strong material expressiveness to generate sensorial experiences. They are linked to the roots of a territory through a personal and poetic vision. Currently they work with expert artisans, brands and companies to create new productions and limited editions.
