Italy is one of the world’s leading producers of marble. Marble processing is an operation that generates a large quantity of waste, also known as “offcuts,” which vary in type and size. These offcuts originate from the fractures that occur during processing, which are quite common given the nature of the material, or from pieces that remain after processing or extracting a marble piece. The waste resulting from the cutting and processing of stone can range from a minimum of 35% to a maximum of 75% of the physical unit. Therefore, from 100 kg of marble (block) input, only 25 kg of finished product may be obtained, and the remaining 75 kg constitute the waste.

In a country like Italy, where the tradition of marble has a millennia-old history, where stone is born or transported to become sculpture, art and history, the production of waste derived from processing leaves its mark on the ground, defenseless.
In a dialogue of contrasts, collaboration, and sustainability, aluminum embraces marble. It doesn’t disturb, deface, or interfere with the material but rather welcomes and supports it.
The project “Merge” welcomes these remnants and emphasizes their uniqueness. In each piece, the story of the previous narrative remains sculpted. Each piece is an expression of a previous narrative. Matter and transformation. “Merge” is a collection that extends our exploration into material recovery and sustainable design principles.
In addition to the marble, we’ve chosen to use aluminum, which is a 100% recyclable material. In this narrative, the materials showcase their own peculiarities and put them in comparison.
They undress to clothe each other: they are no longer waste but in constant transformation, becoming new material. Materials are shown in their authenticity without any further processes applied. The product is completely handmade in Italy.

Abandoned forms, rejects of other projects, come back to show themselves in a new life. No more matter in excess but form and essence.
CO Series 01 is an extension of the Cutout project, an aesthetic research on metal shapes that have been cutted out from other projects. Every waste of matter is part of a story.
The variable and free geometries, due to the previous processes, give the sign to each new piece.

2024__Metalique__Side Table Collectible Design

Metalique explores the unrepeatable through subtraction.
The hand-turning process becomes both element and tool of narration, passage, and transformation.
The return to the artisanal roots of this ancient decorative technique offers the opportunity to explore a relationship with production whose rhythms are marked by manual dexterity.
Metalique strips the material of its original form with the aim of discovering beauty in absence.
The products of the collection are characterized by absolute uniqueness as they are the result of human labor and processes not entirely controlled. The turned legs appear both firm and dynamic simultaneously, in a play of light that emphasizes the material's profile. The remnants, aluminum shavings left behind during the process, take on their own individuality as remnants of a unified body, laid at its feet.

2025__Omnes__Ruffino Design Collaborations
![]()
The beauty of conviviality lies in the encounter of different identities, united by one shared moment. Though distinct, such identities influence each other, thus leaving traces behind. Matter upon matter, in a weave of forms and connections. The work explores stitching as a principle of union, giving “gold” a dual meaning: structure as well as ornament. The bench is a composition of separate elements bound without constraints, allowing for free use. The absence of hierarchy is an invitation for spontaneous interaction, which turns sitting into an experience of balance and relationship.

2025__Balance__Secondome Design Collaborations
![]()
Beyond imagination, within the possible.
With a nod to Italo Calvino’s Le cosmicomiche, where the everyday experiences of humans are playfully and humorously transposed into an imaginary universe without abandoning the search for meaning, Balance is the result of an exercise born from the imagination of possibilities. A conceptual abstraction translated into everyday life through new forms, suggesting yet never defining, leaving behind a radical question: "What if it were possible?”. A stool in form, a side table in aspiration, a barbell in abstraction, and open to infinite interpretations.
“And at the bottom of each of those eyes I lived, or rather another me lived, one of the images of me”
Italo Calvino, Le cosmicomiche, 1965

Cult is the connection between the earthly and the divine, the relationship with what is sacred, and the expression of customs and gestures through which religious sentiment manifests itself.
Every ritual is marked by gestures performed at a specific time and in a specific way. Movements that become an integral part of the ritual, like a universal dance. An object that is communal yet, at the same time, singular.

2021__Alter__Studio F Design Collaborations
![]()
Declare the intrinsic strength of the form, in order to make it essential and functional to itself.
“Classic” geometrics and volumes capable of leading us on the course of continuous research and cultural connection between past, present and future.
Investigating the current concept of aggregation, "Alter" becomes the formal representation of the multiplicity, diversity and complexity of tangible and intangible connections to which we are very familiar today.
The idea of the project is to develop a product that is a sign of our times, but which at the same time can extend cultural and social meanings and values, even after years.
Studio F focuses its work on the importance of solid wood and its recovery. The selected wood is a centennial Cedar charred with the Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban.
"Alter" wants to be the expression of a broken down and unstructured coffee table, modifying the formal and canonical image of the elements that contribute to the construction of a table. "Alter" is a "fluid" product in which the concept of "leg" and "floor" is lost.
An "other" table that evolves in its simplicity, becoming an emblem of bond, support, aggregation and comparison for distinct elements. The top loses its function as a surface above the legs, to become a welcoming line. Each element of "Alter" acquires its own identity but at the same time is a fundamental part in the construction of the whole, contributing to its balance, its union and essence.

2019__Twins__Coffee Tables Collectible Design
![]()
A tribute to time, today more sacred than ever, to man and his hands.
A tribute to the earth, generous creator of precious works.
Twins is the result of an intimate process of realization about two coffee tables that are similar but different at the same time: "both bring with them a part of the other. A chromatic play between surface and thickness."
![]()
![]()
The thought behind Twins is to explore a territory that still today, since 1400, offers the same land extracted from the same quarries. Narrating the mastery with which this land is combined with water and processed only by hand. Discovering the patience of man while he waits for the wind to dry the clay and finally the sacredness of waiting when each tile, meticulously placed in medieval furnaces, is ready to be cooked exclusively with fire and bundles of firewood.
Three days and three nights of cooking and waking follow one another and man leaves everything in the hands of fate and still today, as once, when the furnace is walled up, a cross is marked in the stone at its entrance, hoping that God will be merciful and that every piece will be perfect.
Since the end of the 15th century, the De Martino family has been working the same clay, with the same technique and in the same quarries, in Rufoli di Ogliara, a small district in Salerno, Italy. The stories of sleepless nights, men and women, the black skies and the burning fires that illuminate the faces of craftsmen faithful to their duties.

It is the life about “two”, about clay and water, about red and blue.
Two that becomes one, like every self-respecting split, that returns silently to the root, to the origin, that is always and only one. The creation is revealed in every work, and Twins comes to life in Rufoli's clay, because only through the earth and courage, through pure and free form, the desire takes shape.

Inspired by the iconic Ruffino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva Ducale Oro and Italian
design, the project unites creative talents and exceptional wines in a journey of art and
innovation.
Ruffino fosters a unique creative energy with Triennale Milano. Five artists have been invited to interpret the art of connection, creating exclusive works that transform conviviality into art. Their creations express a personal artistic vision and a deep connection to gold, which has always symbolized transformation and elevation.
The table becomes a place for encounters and exchanges, where ideas are born and inspiration takes shape. Thoughts, flavors and colors intertwine, turning the ritual of conviviality into a creative workshop that celebrates Italian craftsmanship and excellence.
For this edition, Marco Sammicheli, Director of the Museum of Italian Design at Triennale Milano, has selected five studios capable of exploring and reinterpreting objects, materials and forms from a personal perspective, leading to creations that tell the story of Italian design from new angles.
Agustina Bottoni, Beatrice Dettori, Studio Martinelli Venezia, Millim Studio and Uroš Mihić each shape unique works that explore the connection between design, conviviality and fine wines, using a personal language and an innovative vision. These creations reveal their full essence within an environment expertly designed by the architectural studio B-Arch, which has woven a perfect connection between space and design.

2025__CAN YOU IMAGINE?__Secondome__Rossana Orlandi
![]()
A ode to Imagination and its positive transformative power.
In an era that over the last 50 years has been increasingly marked by a justified sense of global concern over the state of the world, Can You Imagine? seeks to promote creativity as a central and positive force to driving future scenarios. This concept is reaffirmed through the visionary title of a 70s science fiction novel ‘Out of their minds” (USA, 1970, Clifford D. Simak), in which men, through the power of their imagination, create countless beginnings. Since then to current times, imagination has continued to transform the impossible into possible.
Through creativity and the courage to “use their heart to overcome difficulty”, the exhibition’s designers — Onka Allmayer-Beck, CContinua + Mamt, Clementine Chambon, Serena Confalonieri, Millim Studio, and Matteo Pellegrino — are invited to explore the role of imagination in current times.
Are we still able to imagine?
In a world soaked in realism—from literature to cinema—where “based on a true story” prevail above and beyond the story’s ability to spark thought; where journalism must navigate the dangerous waters of fake news; and where design seems focused on the artificial imitation of natural materials (and here the mind jumps to Blade Runner’s snakeskin) — are we still able to think outside the box?
What’s more, in observing the growing tension between what’s true and what’s false, fuelled all the more by the increasing capacity of AI, what role do we assign to creativity?
Certainly not that of inventing fantasy worlds as an escape from a dystopian reality, but rather that of imagining.
Imagining a different future.
Imagining different homes.
Imagining different people.
Imagining different objects.
And I’m certain that as you read the word imagine, your mind is already humming to the tune of The Cranberries, John Lennon, or perhaps even Ligabue.
This is a small collection of objects and furnishings that don’t claim to change the world, but that firmly refuse to stay grounded, raising their heads proudly towards the clouds.
