Gabriella Buccioli, my life, my garden. The plants have invaded the spaces, stormed the trees, shrunk the walkways, and blanketed the slopes. The garden looks like a wild, magical and evocative jungle, just as I wanted it to. I created it a little bit at a time, almost without realizing it at first and then with increasing awareness. As the work gradually took shape, I indulged my love for the plant world, following the thread of childhood memories and often becoming nature's accomplice or pupil, without sacrificing my own influence.

L'angelo necessario. Paolo Pallucco talk about Pallucco In 1980 Paolo Pallucco founded a furniture and accessory company that bore his name. His products represent new concepts, and have a new aesthetic language. He undertook a path in which the search of functionality, technical innovation and study of shapes evolved hand in hand. His non-conformist approach to design and the memorable exhibitions in the ex Slaughterhouse of Milan during the 1988-1989 editions of the Furniture Fair have left a significant mark both because of the quality and for the staging of the products.
