Timelessness comes from authenticity. A piece becomes timeless when it is conceived to express a strong and personal vision, rather than to follow trends. These are the objects that continue to speak to the present, regardless of the time in which they were created.

What makes me fall in love with a forgotten design is often its untold, misunderstood meaning. Sometimes a project was simply ahead of its time, or it never had the opportunity to be fully understood and appreciated. Rediscovering it means recognising its enduring value and giving it the right context to engage with a new generation.

When developing a new collection, what do you trust most: instinct, emotion or function?

I would say it is a balance of all three. Instinct leads me to rediscover forms and materials whose value has remained hidden over time; emotion comes from the desire to bring them back into our hands, to rediscover their aesthetic and meaning. Finally, function – the most rational element – allows me to place the project within Tacchini’s language and make it part of a contemporary vision of living.

I personally love interiors where vintage, contemporary design and art come together. What makes a space feel truly special to you?

For me, a special space is one where past and present are able to coexist naturally. I believe the most meaningful interiors are not built around trends, but around objects and pieces that carry a story, a memory or a particular emotion.

Tacchini pieces always have a remarkable presence, yet they never overpower a room. How do you strike that balance between character and restraint?

At Tacchini, this is precisely the balance we strive for: creating recognisable elements with a strong personality, while allowing them to enter into a dialogue with the spaces and the people who inhabit them. I believe a design element should have its own identity, but at the same time leave room for what surrounds it, without imposing itself.

When you meet a designer for the first time, what makes you feel: this person belongs in the Tacchini world?

For me, a working relationship always begins with a meeting. A project may take shape immediately, or it may not; what matters at first is establishing a relationship, finding a connection, and sharing the same energy and curiosity towards research.

When I meet a designer for the first time, I look for openness, sensitivity and a genuine desire to explore forms, materials and meanings. I am drawn to designers who bring a personal vision and a recognisable identity, while at the same time being open to engaging with Tacchini’s heritage and values.

We've always felt a natural connection between the Tacchini world and our own. I'd love to know: where do you see our two design languages meeting?

I believe the meeting point between our two worlds lies, first and foremost, in a shared sensitivity towards design and living. We both look at spaces not simply as compositions of objects, but as places capable of telling a story, creating emotions and reflecting the personality of those who inhabit them.

It is precisely this affinity of vision that makes our dialogue feel so natural: a shared understanding of design as an expression of identity and atmosphere, and as a way of creating relationships with people through the projects we develop.
