Finishes, form and fit-for-purpose

Living in Italy, there is inspiration at every turn. Even mundane objects reveal design wisdom. On Isola di Giglio, a red navigational marker, tiled for durability despite its tapered form, reminds us that design is compromise—balancing form, function, and longevity. Learning never stops, even on holiday.
Our surroundings shape us and what we do

Cities shape the way we think, work, and create. Their rhythms, spaces, and histories influence our engagement with ideas. A city that encourages slowing down fosters deep work and innovation. Design is not just about form and function—it’s about experience, and urban environments play a crucial role in shaping that experience.
