This November, we immersed ourselves in the profoundly evocative experience of the 2024 Venice Art Biennale. This year, under the theme Stranieri Ovunque ("Foreigners Everywhere"), the Biennale explored what it means to exist as “foreign” across cultures, borders, and communities. Curator Adriano Pedrosa’s vision is bold, spotlighting marginalized voices and reshaping narratives that have too often been excluded from mainstream art spaces.

Paris Design Week 2024 brought together a diverse range of designers, architects, and creators who continue to push the boundaries of contemporary design. From innovative sustainability efforts to standout exhibitions and rising stars, this year's event was a thrilling exploration of creativity. Below is our detailed guide to what captured our attention and left us inspired.

The term "azulejos" comes from the Arabic "al-zulaydi," meaning "polished small stone." These are ceramic tiles adorned with organic or geometric patterns that, when assembled, create a rhythm or a fresco in a single piece. Their designs reflect the artistic movements of the periods in which they were created.

In my studio, I have a ritual: coffee, incense, and flowers are necessary for me. It’s my sanctuary, but when I start a project, I become obsessed with it and its realization. A piece of wood, a type of wood, a piece of furniture, everything has meaning and allows me to reflect on my desires. I test, I try!! I also like involving my clients in my research to be sure I understand their needs.

Salone del Mobile is not merely an exhibition; it’s a global design summit that encapsulates the essence of creativity and craftsmanship. The 2024 edition emphasized “Sustainability and Innovation,” a theme that resonated throughout the event’s diverse pavilions. Designers, architects, and creatives from around the world converged to showcase cutting-edge furniture, innovative materials, and visionary concepts.

I love this magical atmosphere of creation, being in my studio, thinking about a concept, a mural, a canvas, starting from nothing and giving birth, it's addictive. I think art is the guarantor of good mental health. Painting is a necessity, a balance. Each canvas is a meditative journey.
