Some briefs arrive as a mood board.
Some as a film.

La Grande Bellezza is named after a Sorrentino masterpiece, and the identity had to carry that reference without explaining it.

Deep reds. The arch of the Colosseum is reduced to its essential line. A serif that knows what it’s doing. And a descriptor that says everything without saying too much:

Discobar del Futuro Antico.

Ancient form. Contemporary space.
The same tension is held throughout.

Some visits stay with you long after they’re over.

A while ago, had the chance to visit the Florim production plant, where innovation, precision, and scale come together in a way that’s hard to describe.

We couldn’t take photos inside, but seeing how these materials are produced: from enormous slab storage to highly automated production lines, offered a completely different perspective on the craftsmanship behind every surface.

Experiences like these remind us that good design begins with understanding the materials we choose.

Thank you, .ro and , for opening the doors to such an inspiring experience.

The hardest part of designing a homepage isn’t deciding what to add.

It’s deciding what to leave out.

A homepage isn’t meant to tell the whole story. It’s meant to help people understand where they are, who it’s for and what to do next.

The rest can live on other pages.
