Apartamento Riviera

The renovation of Riviera Apartment began with the desire to transform the everyday experience of a young couple through a more open, welcoming, and fluid living space. The main challenge was to strengthen the connection between the living and dining areas while preserving the privacy of the home office. The project responds to this condition through a wooden partition that becomes the main architectural element of the intervention. It organizes the social area, defines different degrees of privacy, and creates a clear transition between collective and more secluded spaces.

Gucci | Bamboo Encounters

Gucci | Bamboo Encounters is a tribute to bamboo – an evergreen plant that seamlessly blends strength with lightness, a material rich in cultural significance, and a key medium in contemporary design. Curated and designed by 2050+, the exhibition draws inspiration from the House’s pioneering use of bamboo in the mid 1940s. Inspired by Guccio Gucci’s son’s passion for bamboo walking sticks, artisans began crafting handbags with curved bamboo handles. Initially an emblematic element of the Gucci Bamboo 1947 bag, the material went on to influence the design of a wide range of items – jewelry, textile patterns and stationery – transforming bamboo into one of the House’s most recognizable codes.

The Eira Retreat

Set within the dense urban fabric of Delhi, this 1,300-square-foot residence reinterprets simplicity as an architecture of wellness and composure. The design does not pursue reduction for its own sake, but seeks clarity, spaces distilled to their most essential, tactile, and atmospheric elements.  The living room articulates the project’s ethos of composed richness. Taupe, warm beige, and earthen tones establish a grounded palette, while a grey sectional with ribbed upholstery acts as both anchor and counterpoint, combining comfort with architectural precision. Subtle contrasts emerge in the muted burgundy lounge chair and circular coffee table, while a large-scale artwork of architectural motifs deepens the spatial narrative. S... More

Boximal Chair

Boximal Chair — Tectonics as Action (From Structure to Ritual) The Boximal chair is not a piece of furniture; it is a designed behavioral scenario a device that shifts sitting from passive comfort to bodily awareness. In this project, design does not begin with form but with action: how can one, with minimal material, construct an alert body, a minimal spatial envelope, and a renewed relationship between the human and the space? The 20×20 mm aluminum structure operates as an Exposed Tectonic System, transforming structural transparency into a design position. Here, the joints, the absence of cladding, and the reduction of components express not an aesthetic preference but an ethics of construction. This clarity reveals the pro... More

CASA CRUDA

In Casa Cruda, two levels are clearly distinguished: a renewed base (with floors and walls clad) and an upper part that remains bare, authentic, and untouched. In this way, a single continuous space brings together the new and the existing, the technical and the handcrafted, the repaired and the preserved; a synthesis between past and present that allows time to be inhabited in all its layers. Hiperfocal Hiperfocal Casa Cruda repairs a 1960s neighborhood house through a minimal and precise intervention. The project reflects on the legacy of traditional and anonymous typologies, and their connection to contemporary architecture. Rather than transforming, it refines and reactivates what already exists, turning built memory into the... More
