Ladies First on IDEAT
“The fact that Milan is the world metropolis of design is perhaps not the most surprising news. But the fact that the scene there is decisively and completely determined by female protagonists should rather cause astonishment. We made the impossible possible and asked the ranks of Milan's leading designers, manufacturers, gallery owners, publicists and marketing luminaries for a joint photo shoot. In the middle of Milan, in broad daylight, wearing an elegant dressing gown.
An event of a special kind.”
Thank you IDEAT for this beautiful experience.

Christmas in the box
Pianca & Partners proposes a special showcase for the festive season:
a display designed by my studio, under the banner of colour and a different sense of discovery. “Christmas in the Box” is an invitation to search for what is hidden at first glance. Time, matter, form, function. But also desire and creation. All these elements gather in portions of meaning to reveal themselves in the micro-architectures of the Palù collection.

Palù, bedside collection
Palù collection is inspired by nature, its soft and embracing shapes. The bedside table and bench give an idea of small architectures, characterized by the linear play between solids and voids.
The curvilinear nature of a sequence of wooden rods generates the space: the frame embraces suspended volumes such as the padded seat or the drawer. In the bedside table, the round drawer in regenerated leather is rotating towards the bed, becoming a second shelf.

Pepe, saddle
The idea came from looking for an informal but comfortable seat, with an essential but expressive line. The reference of the horse saddle seemed fascinating. The seat has a miter cut in the front that lets you lean forward while working at your desk and therefore relieving the back muscles. It’s an object that has the immediacy of a pouf but allows for a more ergonomic posture.
