Distinguishing marks
They catch the eye, becoming distinctive features that set the tone of sofas, armchairs and entire collections. Details that sometimes become the main object, or act as graphic signs. Besides seating, ergonomics and comfort, soft furnishings reveal their character through particular coverings, armrests that become places to sit, supports in metal or wood that embrace […]
Convivial geometry
The living room according to Giorgetti is a place with a thousand functions, and more.

Crossing paths
Founded in Milan in 1990 as ‘Galleria Carla Sozzani’, 10 Corso Como – shop and exhibition space – was, it is said, the world’s first ‘concept store’. Certainly, this former garage, located in a popular area far from the city’s most important addresses, immediately became a crossroads for fashion, art and design. In constant evolution. […]
Luca Pozzi between space and time
The relationship between space and time, relativity, and quantum physics are the themes at the foundation of his work, which combines art, physics, cosmology, and computer science. Through the language of art, he aims to make the invisible visible so that the unknown does not become an antagonist, but rather an opportunity for wonder or […]

Shakesphoria
The curtain opens and the New Year lights up with sparkling lights, surprising performances and unexpected tricks. The show begins, with a special mood board that we have renamed Shakesphoria – 50% theater (evoked by the name of a giant, Shakespeare), 50% euphoria. And a hint of humility, because none of us dares to compete […]

Davide Groppi | Magia
“Magic, deceives the eye, creating illusions of unexpected light. It alters the reflected forms, the perception becomes confused, it makes it suspended, almost impalpable. Suspended transparency, a mirage of apparent inconsistency.” Only a poem can describe the atmosphere, the sensuality that the Davide Groppi lighting system gives off. An evocative, musical, deep story is needed […]
