Sarmiento is a shelf capable of disappearing behind the books that holds, conferring them the most important role. In fact the books, with their variety of colour and shape, create a flexible and never repeating landscape. This effect is possible thanks to a clever design invention; the 20 degrees angulation of the shelf hosts the barycentre of different sized books in only 12 cm. The result is a light, small and almost invisible object.

Omero is a curious three-legged object in aluminium and stainless steel, mirror polished. Its unusual shape makes it appear to be a sculpture, or a starship, but it is a surprising magazine holder. Newspapers and magazines fit perfectly between its rings, hanging suspended in mid-air like paper flowers.

Ovidio is a table born out of a deep study of molded metal plate. Studying the details of the folding process and exploiting the potential of this simple technology to the maximum the object achieves a synthesis of the essentiality and richness of surface treatments.
The result is a self-supporting geometric structure which becomes a form capable of changing according to the changes in point of view.

Apero is a chaise longue entirely made by hand in Argentina.
The project is part of a research in collaboration with Sumampa, aimed at rediscovering the genuine value of a craft tradition from the north of Argentina
Apero utilises raw leather stitched over a steel structure. The drying leather submits high tension to the structure, which behaves elastically. The result is a mixed structure of remarkable rigidity.

The PET container has a dual face: a transparent face for maximum UV-A rays collection and a alluminium face that absorbs the infrared sunrays augmenting the temperature and improving disinfection. The reduced thickness assists the transportation and the storage. The handle integrates the angular regulation needed to improve sun exposure depending in which latitude of the world the process is executed.
