italian industrial and furniture design studio
Talented design studio in Rome. Our design is inspired by simplicity addressed with the right poetics, using metaphors that express both functions and qualities of each product. The goal is always to offer a content with a strong communicative character. To do this, the starting point is the concept, which then develops into the study and design of the most innovative features in all the details.
Our process is made of 5 principal stages:
Analisys | Discover | Define | Refine | Deliver
We work through the whole creative stages starting from the concept, using the preparatory drawings and the prototypes, finding stimulating and useful for the project to work inside factories and laboratories
Marco got his human and work experiences between social business activities, No-profit and collaborations with design studios, companies and artisans. Thanks to these activities He could win German Design Award and European Product Design Award and to partecipate at ADI Index and Compasso d’Oro.
Design is poetry, doing it with simplicity is an heroic act. Inspired Design improves the products qualities through elegant metaphors.

Archimede. Floor lamp
Floor lamp inspired by the burning glasses used by Archimedes in the Syracuse siege.
The lamp, through the double finishing touches of the mirror, creates two fundamental effects either a direct or a scattered light.
A ba'. Bottle holder
Wooden table bottle holder. Its oblique pose is frezeed in the gesture of pouring more wine drinking in good company.
Through the support of the suitably shaped base, the bottle holder remains stable in the inclined position. The inner tube helps keep the wine temperature.
Trivolta. Round table
The merging of wood and metal is the concept upon which this table is based.
The combination of these two materials, a warm one and a cold one, and the various finishes that can be obtained, provide a remarkable flexibility for positioning Trivolta in several types of places.
Just like the original rectangular version, the metal plates are fixed through the wooden core in order to compose the top. As a result, three vaults are created to keep the entire table structure solid and stable.
Volta. Table
This table is characterized by a soft sense of industrial elegance. The standard natural steel finish does exalt the contrast between wood and metal. The top is composed of a steel plate and a wooden central core. By fixing the two metalled elements to the central wooden part, the entire structure is kept stable and in place, just like it happened with ancient vaults in architecture.
Volta was published in the ADI Design Index 2015 and competed for Compasso D’Oro 2016.
Monsieur. Floor lamp
Moonsieur is a steel floor lamp which turns light into a highly personal concept.
A furniture item characterized by a strong identity ideal for home settings such as living rooms and reading areas. The lampshade form recalls the gesture of saying hello by lifting your hat.
Expressing a minimal design, it is composed of a steel structure with four tubular elements and a removable lampshade.
Peepshow - Cupboard
Look inside!
Large pantry is the perfect solution for storing kitchen items correctly. Natural and compact teak on the outside, white and pure on the inside.
Trestle kitchen
The kitchen becomes a long freestanding island.
With its tripod shaped structure, the workstation consists of an induction burner, one water point and a wooden table top; devices that are always ready for use!
Think tank - armchair
A tribute to Alvar Aalto and his Tank Chair…with a difference!
The research of new materials characterizes this chair. Flexible padded wood allows for the elegant curve of the chair that can be admired from all angles.
Trestle table
The table is simple and welcoming.
The table has the same particular tripod structure of the kitchen workstation. The teak top makes it warm and inviting
Trestle chair
Lightweight yet sturdy, this chair looks good on its own as well as with the others.
The chair is minimal, contemporary, stylish and comfortable all at the same time.
Trestle sofa
The upholsterd sofa is cozy and inviting, just like an extra large size.
The sofa maintains the simplicity of the lines and the unmistakable style of the other living room components, adapting the characteristic steel structure to its particular shape.
