1 | What does your house represent to you?

This is my new family house in Los Angeles and it represents a laboratory, a space to experiment to get new inspiration.

2 | Who chose the furniture?

I chose all the pieces from scratch with my dad who is into design.

3 | Any works of art at home?

I’m a multimedia artist, so I tend not to have art around because I like the wall and the spaces always blank to inspire me to create new things.

5 | Open Space or separate rooms?

I have no walls in my imagination and in my mind, I see everything as an open space, even if it’s in an internal space. I can go behind the walls, physically and mentally.

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

My house is a place for sharing ideas, emotions and new horizons.

7 | Design and fashion, similarities and differences

For me they are the same, if you are a creative person there is not such a difference between designing a piece of design and designing clothes. I think everything is one energy and one flow.

8 | Bath tub or shower?

I prefer bath but also shower, as you get different vibration and sensation.

9 | Home cooking or restaurant?

I am an aspiring chef, in another life I wanted to be a Michelin Chef probably. I love to entertain my host, my guests, my friends and family.

10 | Where would you like to live?

I would like to live in the middle of nowhere where I can just create, in a cabana of a few square metres just by the sea, like the Le Corbusier did. I think it would be very inspiring for me. I think we need phisical objects and clothing but at the same time we can be free and just live with what the imagination can bring us to.
