Verona after dark hits differently.

Ancient piazzas buzzing with aperitivo. Roman walls lit gold against a night sky. Grandmothers, students, travelers, all sharing the same cobblestones like they always have. Because here, they always have.

This is what I came to Italy to feel. Not just to see the design to be inside it. As an architect, there’s no classroom like this. History you can touch. Culture you can taste. Spaces that have been lived in for centuries and still feel alive tonight.
The life of a traveling architect is equal parts inspiration and humility. You think you understand proportion, scale, atmosphere and then Verona hands you a piazza and quietly reminds you what those words actually mean.

The beautiful intersection between design and travel exists when in Verona. 🇮🇹

Milan has a way of finding you even when you think you’re just sightseeing. 🖤

A few years ago I walked into the Dolce & Gabbana museum and something shifted. I wasn’t standing in front of fashion. I was standing in front of a design philosophy.

The way each piece was constructed with absolute intention. The layering of texture like silk against brocade, embroidery over lace, each decision deliberate and nothing accidental. The color stories that felt both timeless and completely of their moment.

I remember thinking: this is exactly how I design a room. Not more. Not louder. But precisely, beautifully right.That moment never left me. And it’s exactly why I’m heading back.

This week I’ll be at Salone del Mobile and Milan Design Week and I’m watching everything! The showrooms, yes. But also the streets. The way Milanese style moves tells you where design is heading before it ever reaches a showroom floor.

At RMD Designs, inspiration doesn’t stop at the trade show door. It lives in the details, a color pairing on a cobblestone street, a texture glimpsed through a café window, the proportion of a centuries like an old doorway.

Thoughtfully designed. Intentionally yours.
