They stay wide-eyed for the possibilities of collaboration, remain faithful to what they notice others overlook and regard human connection as fundamental to every design.

Our design work is best summed up in the phrase:
Fabiola Di Virgilio: Design as a ritual, where material, space and daily gestures are in dialogue.
What aspect of your work are people most curious about?
Andrea Rosso: How our background in fashion translates into interior design. Our research into colour, for instance, carries a level of precision that comes directly from the fashion world. The same applies to our attention to texture and materials.
What has recently challenged the way you think about design?
Fabiola Di Virgilio: Working on hospitality and wellness projects has shifted our perspective. It has pushed us to think beyond immediate impact and aesthetics toward comfort, longevity and emotional balance, designing spaces that support people over time, not just moments.
What person, building, product, or art piece has had a lasting impact on your work?
Andrea Rosso: Rather than a single reference, we’re influenced by a constellation of worlds, from Japanese architecture to 1970s interiors. We’re drawn to work that balances rigour with imperfection, a tension that deeply resonates with our own approach.
The three words I would most like people to attribute to our work are:
Fabiola Di Virgilio: Timeless, balanced and accurate.

What is the one piece of advice you would share with an emerging designer?
Andrea Rosso: Spend time understanding materials and processes. When you know how things are made, how they age and how they’re used, design becomes more grounded, responsible and meaningful. And above all, trust your instinct.
Where do you go to appreciate exceptional design?
Fabiola Di Virgilio: We find inspiration across different scales, in museums and galleries, where colour and material are explored in their purest form, as well as in homes and everyday environments. Exceptional design, for us, lives where culture and daily life intersect.
What’s one thing you’d like to see more of in design? Less?
Andrea Rosso: More attention to durability, care and emotional longevity. Less noise, less trend-driven design.
