Sol is like the sun, infusing life, and like the first note of a musical scale, the center from which all harmony emerges.

Inspired by the emptiness and light within us, it is made of onyx and amber-blown glass by Venetian masters.
Its presence is simple, yet intense: a pure alcove of luminosity.

Sol is not just light, it is a small domestic sun, radiating warmth and quiet from within.

Rebirth by @live_in_g is an egg of light, an object that responds to the deep human need for energetic renewal.

Sculpted in onyx, a stone valued since ancient times for its balancing properties, it gently illuminates everyday life.

The natural colors of onyx, shifting from green, to pink, to warm yellow, to pure white, carry a primordial power, transforming her lamps into talismans. As light passes through the stones, their veins and patterns come alive, hypnotic and unique.

The egg draws on ancient symbolism: a primordial archetype of rebirth, creation, fertility, and prosperity. Rebirth invites us to reconnect with our essence through beauty, simplicity, and the gentle power of light. by @esedraproject

@live_in_g is a designer from Florence working at the intersection of light, material, and emotion.

Her sensibility was shaped by a classical education, while her vision evolved through travels from London to Cape Town and Helsinki. She completed her training through the Wood Program at Aalto University, where her Saie Pavilion was selected by ArchDaily as the world’s best student project.

Returning to Italy, she worked on the design and construction of the furnishings for BASE Milano, exploring the poetic tension between structure and luminosity. In 2018, Catellani & Smith launched her Alchemie lamp, followed by Talismano, marking the beginning of a collaboration that continues to this day.

Light lies at the heart of Giulia’s work. It emerges gently from her creations like a fire to be protected: a small, intimate flame, carefully nurtured, casting a subtle, warm aura across the cool surfaces of stone.

Her practice explores the therapeutic potential of materials and the importance of engaging with objects through the senses. An experience that may appear simple, yet carries a profound therapeutic power. by @esedraproject

EX TERRA
Daniele Giannetti × Heiter X

MILAN DESIGN WEEK
20–26 April 2026
Alcova — Baggio Military Hospital — Stecca S14

A shared presentation exploring terracotta, mineral composites, and elemental form.

Two distinct practices brought into dialogue through material, weight, and gesture — where objects move between sculpture, function, and spatial presence.

Set within the raw architecture of the former military hospital, the works respond to the site through texture, density, and silence. Clay, lime, and composite matter holding traces of process, time, and transformation.

@heiter_x ’s smaller ritual objects carry the intimacy of things meant to be touched, poetic fragments that slip easily into daily life. They hold symbolic weight in subtle ways: a place to rest a gesture, mark a transition, or simply introduce a moment of stillness into a room. Crafted from hemp, raw clay, glass foam, and other elemental materials, they feel like tiny anchors of presence.

Alongside them, her domestic monuments blur sculpture and furniture, offering forms that serve, hold, and support while retaining the quiet gravity of relics. Works like Rauma, a seating object that can also become a side table, are shaped from hand-sculpted hempcrete and finished with subtle layers of marmorino or stucco, materials that lend the piece both its grounded weight and its lyrical, tactile surface.

These pieces invite a slower way of being: objects that listen, objects that remember, objects that shape the atmosphere around them with gentle persistence.

In @heiter_x practice, objects emerge like fragments of a remembered myth, neither artefacts nor monuments, but living forms that absorb gestures, accumulate time, and hold space for quiet rituals.

Her Mythical Relics and Altar Objects, shaped from cork, raw clay, and natural finishes, feel both unearthed and newly imagined.

Among them are Petra and Samma: sculptural objects that blur the line between function and offering. Petra rises like a geological relic, layered, stratified, shaped by imagined winds and waters, a table that behaves like an altar. Samma appears more fluid, a vessel or planter that invites intention as much as use.

Together they echo an ancient sensibility: objects that ask to be lived with, not simply looked at.

@heiter_x is a multidisciplinary artist who moves between design, installation, natural materials, and food as if they were different dialects of the same language.

Her work begins with the living world: raw earth, foraged matter, food waste, and listens for the quiet processes shaping their transformation.

Guided by her Estonian roots, she follows the rhythms of seasons, ancestral knowledge, and the rituals embedded in daily gestures.

Her objects become portals into slower worlds: places where presence gathers, where materials breathe, and where the unseen comes gently into view.

The title INTRECCI•INTERTWININGS is a statement of intent: weavings not only of threads, but of knowledge, visions, territories, and generations.

The exhibition unfolded along three thematic strands: Light and Ritual, Threads and Weaves, and Matter and Roots which touch, overlap, and echo one another.

The selection of artists and designers, all with a strong craft-based approach, stemmed from the desire to highlight practices that engage authentically with these themes.
Both local and international voices share a deep understanding of material and a refined sensitivity to territory, identity, and hand-making as a form of storytelling.

Collectible design emerged as the ideal language: a hybrid space where craft and concept meet, and where tradition is not simply preserved but reimagined and reinterpreted. It is a form of design that does not seek effect, but meaning, one that keeps ancient techniques alive, restores centrality to material, and transforms the handmade gesture into living memory and cultural expression.

Last summer we contributed to @intrecci.intertwinings , a collectible design exhibition hosted in the former Monastero dei Cappuccini in Salve (LE), reopening to the community after nearly a century.
Built around the theme of intertwining as a metaphor, the exhibition explored connections between memory, craft, and place.
We contributed by defining the curatorial direction and shaping the visitor experience.

The initiative is part of a wider cultural and social regeneration programme promoted by the Municipality of Salve with the support of the Regional Council of Puglia.

Sowing Seeds - 0.Foreword

A long-standing friendship and creative collaboration between @simonefanciullacci and the carpentry atelier @studio_effe has led to the creation of a monumental sofa and a pair of coffee tables - a preview of the upcoming collection, set to be unveiled soon.

Inspired by the planks stacked at Studio F’s workshop and the traditional techniques used to join them, Simone designed these pieces with a contemporary approach.
Each piece tells the story of Studio F’s dedication to craftsmanship and sustainability, with wood sourced from trees fallen due to natural events or necessary felling.

PART 3 | STUDIO VISIT @tipstudio_

La sperimentazione avviene nel laboratorio presso la Fonderia Artistica Versiliese a Pietrasanta, dove è possibile meravigliarsi dei i processi alchemici della fusione del bronzo, la minuzia nella creazione delle cere, e i colori delle patine.

Trovata la formula più adatta, alcuni dei pezzi vengono disegnati digitalmente per definire la struttura e le misure; linee guida che poi vengono lasciate al caso durante la creazione stessa.

La materia ha un ruolo fondamentale, e l’imprevisto che si presenta nei passaggi di creazione del pezzo, diventa la missione creativa di TIPSTUDIO: lasciare spazio a deformazioni, vuoti e superfici ondulate.

PART 2 | STUDIO VISIT @tipstudio_

Osservando la moltitudine più varia di progetti ordinatamente presentati, è evidente il pensiero che caratterizza il lavoro di TIPSTUDIO.
Le menti di Tommaso e Imma vorticano
costantemente in una miriade di idee che schizzano fuori, per poi trovare una traiettoria precisa nel processo di attualizzazione.
L’idea, ancora embrionale, deriva dalla conoscenza di entrambi del fare a mano e un interesse nello sfidare le possibilità dei materiali utilizzati, metallo prevalentemente, ma anche cemento, legno, pietra e ancora più a fondo, le potenzialità della terra stessa.
