1 | What does your house represent to you?

I have been living in this house for six months and I love it, I did everything: the hole in the wall, paintings, whatever, really everything, and it was super nice for me because I have spent the last seven years around with a suitcase, it was fun. The only object that actually really was with me with all my traveling was probably my passport.
I lived in a boat, in a camper, in friends’ houses, in random people houses. It was super nice but tiring and I love to be alone and to have my own space with all my stuff.

I like collecting objects, I still have a lot of stuff around my friends’ places - “oh sorry I left here a suitcase”. I wish I was less materialistic but I am, so I’m very happy to have a place where I can just feel that I am the boss. If I want to chill, I chill. If I want to have a party, I have a party, If I want to not wash the dishes for a week it’s fine, if I want to paint or whatever I can, it’s nice. It gives me a feeling of independence, freedom.

2 | Who chose the furniture?

I personally chose some pieces of furniture, I’ve simply found some other in the street, some were offered to me, some other I built by my own.
I paid a lot of attention to lighting: the light of a place changes my mood a lot, so I really care about the atmosphere, I can’t stand white neon.
When I see a building from outside I really can feel its energy. I think I’m a light freak.

I also have this ingenious piece of art made by Gysin & Vanetti. I could stay there for hours and just watch it, it’s made of six letters that keep changing and turning, every word that comes out means something. Once you turn it on, it just keeps changing in a random way, it never repeats the same cycle.

One of the object I care about the most and that is always with me since I was a child is an indian painting done by my father. He made this series of very big paining of Indians, this is the only one in small dimensions, so I can bring it with me.

4 | Where do you get your best ideas?

You never know when you get your best ideas. Sometimes when you are busy you have a very good idea, while when you have time to create or do something great, nothing comes. You absorb what surrounds you and when you put attention in something and you just feel like “wow this is nice”, probably you like it because it reminds you of something that you already have inside. I don’t believe in looking for an inspiration, for me there isn’t a special place to look for inspiration. Of course my house, a beautiful place or an exhibition can helpful but it also can be looking in the gar-bage.
No rules, I think there are no rules.

5 | Open Space or separate rooms?

I prefer open spaces, even if you have to share it with another person. However, I like different types of house, for example I like a house that is very small and full of stuff but I at the same time I like almost empty and minimal spaces.
That’s why one half of my house is filled of little objects and the walls are colored in strong col-ours and the other half is white and minimal.

6 | Is your house a shelter or a place for sharing?

It’s both. It started as a shelter because I needed a place where to be alone, but it’s becoming a sharing place now, there are always friends here and as everyone hosted me when I was in other cities, I’m now happy to host them here.

7 | Design and fashion, similarities and differences

There are some similarities between fashion and design, like the research of silhouettes, materials and fabrics. But I feel that design is indented to last longer.
Fashion follows trends, and trends go very fast.

9 | Home cooking or restaurant?

I prefer to eat at home, at my place or at friends’ place. It’s less noisy, you can stay longer and it’s more intimate.
It’s nice to go to a restaurant and choose your favorite plate, however I still prefer to eat at home for sure. I like to cook, but for other people. When I’m alone I usually cook fast plates, I like to cook any type of risotto.

10 | Where would you like to live?

My dream would be living in the Cesar Manrique House Museum in Lanzarote. Lanzarote is a vul-canic island while Manrique is an artist who built his house in the lava, the volcanic stone. It’s a surreal place, the view is incredible.

Lugano city guide

Spazio Morel | Music concert hall
Via Antonio Adamini 4, 6900 Lugano

The Morel space is simply fantastic if you like the underground scene. Great music, great shows, great people. I've been coming to this place for years, I love listening to live music and visiting the hosted art exhibitions.

Turba | Cultural association
Via Cattedrale 11, 6900 Lugano

Turba makes excellent drinks, the light is very soft and the place itself is particularly magical because it resides in an old house with frescoes and arches in one of the most beautiful streets of Lugano. They also organize cultural events of various kinds and that is why I occasionally come here.
