Since 2020 I have been the Art Director of Serrature Meroni, the European business leader in the production of locks and closure systems, a firm which has a traditional link with the world of design through the Nova doorknob which is part of the permanent collection of the Triennale Design Museum of Milan.
Another recurring thought was about the romantic aspect of this type of product. I wanted there to be a sense of romanticism and elegance in the design of the new products because, in the collective imagination and as a historical legacy, I think lampposts convey these feelings, whereas now they have often transformed into cold, technical elements with cooling fins and surfaces that appear to be modeled like racing cars.
