Designer, architect, goldsmith, artist and lecturer, he lived and worked in Milan where he was born in 1938. The sign that unifies the articulation of the various operating areas is of the opinion that things are ambiguous and unstable in space and time. Not forms but processes open to external intervention, to favor unpredictable metamorphic continuum. These are the immersive and interactive environments of the T group. Also in the silver-applied design - for its Milanese laboratory - and in projects for gold, porcelain or glass artifacts, he tends to product objects that are ironic manufacturers of changing messages and dialogic relations with those who use them. The theme of the viewer's participation is always present in the writings in which he speculates that the true contemporary craftsman is the ultimate consumer, induced to build artifacts from the standardized offer of semi-finished and optional to assemble. The experimental tension is confirmed in the various years of didactic activity for design, organized by preceding the concrete and perceptual manipulation of materials to modeling and theoretical information.
