PafPaf began as disassembled chair: simple and authentic 🟡 It has now evolved into a family of pouffes and footrests in various heights and sizes, all sharing the same DNA: a generously cushion resting on solid ash legs turned with Mattiazzi’s industrial precision.

Wood and fabric. Structure and softness.

Cotto is one of the oldest materials in architecture 🟡 earth, water, air, fire, five generations of knowledge. With Fornace De Martino and the extraordinary , I worked on a new system of formats: a lot of different sizes that gives architects the freedom to compose, without ever losing the soul of the material.

And then there is Lui e Lei 🧱 two bricks. A divider, a presence, an object that keeps you company…

This is only the beginning.

Back in the studio.

After Ladakh, after the silence, after the vastness, I come back with one word in my head: simplification.

And also with something deeper. Ladakh reminded me what it means to be proud of your own culture. To carry it forward with belonging, not nostalgia. To find beauty in the handmade, in the layered, in the thing that takes time and knows where it comes from. Simple, beautiful, full of stories.

And then there is the world we came back to. A global crisis: economic, climatic, human. Ladakh, in its own way, answered that too. It reaffirmed something I already believed but needed to feel again: every project has an impact. On the climate. On culture. On the people who will live with it.

This means taking a clear position on materials: using them intelligently, consciously, without waste or pretence. It means understanding that what we design is never neutral. It never was.

Simplification, then, is not an aesthetic choice. It is an ethical one.

The studio is quiet. The ideas are not. Let’s begin.

Colour & texture 🇮🇳

From Ladakh to Kashmir to Rajasthan, a journey that reveals itself in surfaces before form. Rammed earth, lime, local stone, hand-dyed textiles: each technique tells the story of a territory that has learned to answer its own climate, its own light, its own constraints.

Not styles to import, but building logics to listen to; tradition as method, not as aesthetic.

Architecture, space and light 🇮🇳

In Ladakh, raw earth remains the most intelligent response to climate: cool in summer, able to hold warmth through winter. Wooden staircases mark the vertical rhythm of the houses, built on the same logic for centuries.

In Srinagar, Kashmir, architecture is layered: wood and stone alternate in a building technique that is both structure and memory, with intricately carved woodwork that is entirely unique to the region.

In Jaipur, finally, it’s the delicate decorations and colours that define the space: ornament as an integral part of construction, not an addition.

Three territories, three different answers to the same question: how to build in harmony with light, space and one’s own place.

Everyday objects 🟡 The most authentic forms are often those that bear no signature. Copper utensils, wooden benches, woollen rugs: products crafted by local artisans, blending tradition with modernity, born of use and perfected through repetition.

On my travels from Ladakh to Kashmir and Rajasthan, it is precisely these simple, functional and timeless objects that teach me about design and respect for craft processes.

Laundry room is where a home actually begins 🟡 It’s the room that keeps everything else running: clean, ordered, dignified. I think it deserves the same care, the same thought, the same materials and colors as any other space in the house.

Dignity starts in the places no one photographs.

Except when they do beautifully:
