Born in Paestum in 1989, he lives and works in Milan, where he deals with furniture and product design and art direction. Classical architecture, the myth and natural heritage of his homeland, have been a constant source of inspiration for his work. In it he researches and explores the expressive forms of design with an innovative and contemporary approach. His design is notable for its vigorous graphic appeal, the immediacy of its forms and its unerring use of colour. Designs by him have been exhibited at the Milan Triennale, ADI Design Museum, Rossana Orlandi Gallery, Casa do Design Matosinhos, and Design Museum Holon. He has designed products for numerous Italian names, including Abet Laminati, Alessi, Bulgari, Dnd, Internoitaliano, Lispi, Lithea, Moleskine and Tenuta Vannulo.
