Valentina and Cristiano //
a designer and a carpenter, united by the same design idea—one that comes from the hands, grows with experience, and takes shape in wood. Ours is a young and dynamic carpentry shop, built around three key words: family, craftsmanship, and design. We design and create custom furniture with a contemporary and practical approach: attention to detail, selected materials, refined finishes, and intelligent solutions designed to last over time.
We work in interior, product, and exhibit design, with a particular focus on the kids & family sector. We design custom interiors for homes, family-friendly spaces, hotels, and environments tailored for children; we develop toys and furniture in collaboration with companies; we create exhibitions that tell the story of products and brands in an essential, clear, and welcoming way.
Our in-house carpentry workshop allows us to follow every phase of the process—from the first sketch to the last screw—maintaining design coherence, construction quality, and an attention to detail that is visible and tangible over time. This is where design becomes tangible: prototypes, samples, processing, finishes. Everything under control, everything built with intention.
THE WORKSHOP
The Atelier is the heart of our work: a design and experimentation space where design becomes concrete. We start by listening and translate real needs into tailor-made solutions, paying attention to volumes, materials and details. Drawings, mood boards, models and prototypes help us verify each choice before it is even built.
The presence of our in-house carpentry workshop allows us to follow the entire process continuously: from idea to production, up to installation. It is an "integrated" approach that guarantees aesthetic consistency, construction quality and precise control of finishes.
We primarily design for the kids & family world: bedrooms, play spaces, domestic environments and hospitality designed to accommodate children and adults together. We believe in an inclusive, regenerative and accessible design: beautiful to look at, but above all simple to use, durable over time and capable of making everyday life lighter.
CREATIVE STUDIO
We are a multidisciplinary design studio: we work across interior, product, and exhibit design with an integrated approach that combines creative vision and design rigor. We approach each project as a system—space, object, experience, and communication—to build cohesive, functional, and recognizable solutions.
In our studio, we develop concepts, mood boards, and stylistic directions, layout and executive design, prototypes, and product details, up to the definition of materials, colors, and finishes. We collaborate with companies and professionals to transform ideas into concrete projects: tailor-made environments, furniture and toy collections, small installations, and temporary spaces capable of telling a brand's story in a simple, contemporary, and welcoming way.
THE CARPENTRY
Our carpentry workshop is the in-house production department that translates the design into construction, with high standards and direct control over every step. We work wood with artisanal skills and contemporary tools, combining executive precision, material quality, and attention to finishes.
We manage the entire process internally: selection of wood species, sampling, processing and assembly, finishes, and installation. This approach allows us to ensure coherence between concept and realization, keeping timelines and details under control, and delivering a reliable result over time.
We create custom-made furniture, storage systems, boiserie, and small installations for residences, kids & family spaces, and hospitality, with a rigorous method and precise attention to construction details.
