A rug, a table and a seat form a woven landscape of almost 7 square meters: an atlas where Victoire de Brantes and explore the dialogue between craft, material and territory.

Developed during the .residency, the collaborative work was created alongside the weavers of Aaspura within the Jaipur Rugs network. The starting point: fragments of everyday life observed from above-a tree, a path, a road, a courtyard. It is rooted in the Manchaha practice, where artisans render their inner worlds directly into form.

Through the woven shapes across the surface, textile and furniture become continuous.

Lifted into three-dimensional volume, these personal narratives converge. The resulting modular forms shift fluidly between tables and seating-holding a sharp tension between what is lived on the ground and its physical connection to space and heritage.

👁️🌀 Designed as a companion.

Mother Dweller by doesn’t illuminate a space. It occupies it. Built from carbonised bone, stiff cotton, and shaped metal, the work reads the room as much as it shapes it.

Subtle shifts-movement, proximity, touch-set it in motion: the kinetic structure sways softly, settling into a quiet rhythm with its surroundings.

🍕 returns to Milano with Pizzeria of Promises: a mobile kitchen hijacking the rituals of Milan Design Week.

Here, overhyped futures and broken expectations are turned into something you can actually consume. Visitors order from their own ambitions, disappointments, or projections. Each story is translated into flavour-smelled, chewed, and digested.

By consuming these narratives, the project asks: who are they really for, and what happens when they fall short?

🕯️ emphasizes the material cycle and local production, with a process traditionally associated with the plastic industry.

🔃 By repurposing rotational moulding, they’ve developed a custom machine that spins natural wax into renewable lamps-casting a soft, marbled glow. Each object is designed for change: return it, melt it, reshape it.

⚖️ With a production system with fixed weights, the material stays in motion-extending its life through use. Re-newable at its core, a fully compatible base connects the object to a wider circular system.
