Our Architecture 🟡 “A whispered dialogue between objects, surfaces, space, and light. The value of the whisper is in generating projects that are in harmony with each other. Not defining a style but a personality capable of expressing its own value. Simple forms, soft colors, and beauty in imperfection where the project defines itself with the user, the only true protagonist.” – Marialaura Irvine #radicalwhisper

Our chairs, embroidered.
PafPaf for @mattiazzisrl on the left, the bentwood chair for @muji_global produced by @thonet_official on the right 🟡stitched by hand onto tulle, hung as thresholds between the studio’s workshop and its archive.
Above, the archive. Below, the projects translated into thread, slow and deliberate and made part of the architecture itself.
This is my personal research on how a project migrates: from drawing to object, from object to thread, from thread back into space.
The embroidery doesn’t illustrate the objects. It filters them. A membrane between what we design and how we remember designing it.

Designed to be placed in a corner or on a shelf, TANK allows for freedom of orientation depending on spatial requirements and the position of the tap 🟡 A compact washbasin, with a soft, continuous form, conceived as a single controlled volume.
The internal shelf becomes a structural and functional element, organising the space and accompanying the gesture and can also accommodate the tap.
As an architect, I have always regarded my work as a designer as the opportunity to create small-scale architecture; fragments of landscapes capable of embracing gestures, light, memory and function.

This is a hand-forged nail. It holds the shelf in place. And it can be easily moved to change its position. It is handcrafted in the traditional Lispi ironworking style.
Thus, the very construction of Tatamino is its aesthetic. This is what I mean by structural sincerity.
Tatamino, il tatami a baladacchino for @lispi_official
The idea of Tatamino arose to offer the chance to create a micro-habitat that was both structure and atmosphere, evoking the Japanese image of the tatami: a bed that becomes a small living space. A place to read, display your most cherished objects, relax under soft lighting, watch a film, listen to music or hang your favourite painting.
Tatamino consists of a metal frame with joints secured by bolts. Everything is strictly handmade in the Lispi tradition...

Thought the Thread project redefines embroidery as an architectural act 🟡 lightweight walls to hang in a space, exploring textures, transparencies, soft colours and unexpected embroidery patterns, thanks to the machinery and expert craftsmanship.

This is how a project begins.
Shapes cut from paper, held against the window. Behind them, Ca’ Brutta, the building that has been my dictionary for years. Proportion, rhythm, misalignment.
I decompose its architecture into elementary forms. Then I recompose them, in thread. These fragments will become embroidered portals. Soft thresholds. Architectural acts.
