PANELLO and S.L.O.P.E. 

Living and working in the same space with intention. 

 
When work entered our homes, it didn’t knock on the door. It simply appeared — on the kitchen table, in the bedroom, between the laundry and the leftovers. 
The Covid 19 pandemic may have accelerated this shift, but even before that, the lines between home and work were starting to blur. Combine that with shrinking living spaces and increasing urban density, and one thing becomes clear: we need smarter, more flexible design. 
My projects PANNELLO and SLOPE offer a response. 
PANNELLO is a modular wall system that reshapes any room into a space for focus, rest or something in between. Its compact design keeps things orderly and clear, both physically and mentally. 
SLOPE, a slanted chair, complements this. It invites your body to shift gradually from alert to at ease, helping you mentally step out of work mode and into leisure. 
Together, these objects form more than just furniture. They become tools for navigating modern life — a way to reclaim rhythm, clarity and comfort in a space that has to be everything at once.
