The fireplace is a primal need, creating a general comforting ambiance.
Ciòcco is the representation of an old ritual, the hard and patient practice of cutting wood and save it for winter days.
Such a simple task that is so much in line with an everyday saving habit.
Saving, setting money aside for the winters of our lives, or to enjoy the future.
Ciòcco takes us back to material culture and labour.

It’s in my genes, I have roamed around my father’s carpentry workshop, ever since I was a child. I successfully attended a cabinet-making school in Piedmont in 1998, where I learned woodworking techniques: carpentry, inlay, model making, and studied History of Design, Interior Architecture, CAD software, Wood Technology, with professors from the Polytechnic of Turin.
I have attended a Workshop organized by the Polytechnic of Milan and worked for the Open Design School.
I am currently a teacher at the Design School of Matera.
My products result from my will to tell stories that are sometimes interwoven with the local land and its traditional production techniques; some other times, these stories are all about the modern world. The design process is what makes my objects essential, their handcrafted soul, though, is a tribute to genuine values.
I personally supervise the whole process: from design to distribution.
