Milan design week became my yearly ritual and yearly retreat where I’m surrounded and immersed in design .
Every time am amazed and positively surprised with the high level of creativity and beauty.
Our dear friend Maurizio Scalzi has invited us to a sky walk near the and here was the Magic yesterday 😍

Melorin is an innovative multi-seating installation designed to foster connection, reflection, and
interaction. Inspired by the Mediterranean, it evokes the soothing sounds of the sea—waves,
distant seagulls, and rustling olive trees—through subtle acoustic elements embedded in its
design. Made of sustainable, ergonomic corrugated cardboard, Melorin offers both comfort and
flexibility, allowing visitors to rest, read poetry, or engage in conversation while immersing
themselves in the Biennale’s atmosphere.
Shaped like a seashell, Melorin recalls childhood memories of listening to the ocean through a
shell, echoing George Seferis’ poetic vision:
“I said: ‘I’ll listen to the seashell” .. and the rest you can see The American University of Cyprus, Larnaka Campus - AUCY

For me, is not only about shaping functional spaces, but about experiences that are felt as much as they are seen. A space should awaken the senses—inviting touch, evoking emotion, and allowing people to it in layers, much like reading a story.

I believe in designing through contrast: light against shadow, smooth against rough, silence against movement. These juxtapositions bring energy to interiors and allow each person to feel the space differently. Materials are not just surfaces but textures that carry memory and sensation, encouraging a deeper # with our surroundings.

My approach often embraces minimalism, not as emptiness, but as clarity—where each element has purpose and presence. Within that simplicity, I seek to create moods that shift with light, with time, and with human interaction, so that no visit to the same room is ever identical.

Ultimately, my work is about designing spaces that feel immersive—like a form of scenography for daily life, where architecture, atmosphere, and people come together to create states of mind. Spaces that invite exploration, reflection, and interaction, while remaining grounded in beauty, balance, and emotional depth.
