          From 1979 until the present day she has collaborated with Abet, a  company where she got to know its laminates and where she discovered her  passion for the decoration of rigid surfaces. Together with research for the  Domus Studies Center on the theme of "Industry and Decor", the same  years saw the start of her collaboration with Alchimia and Sottsass, Branzi,  Guerriero and Knoll International (which asked her to design a series of  furniture pieces). 
          During the 1982-1984 period she designed objects for Alessi, became a  consultant for Abet Laminati and took part in the research work conducted by  Guido Jannon treating the theme of innovation (together with the Advance  Marketing Group of Régie Renault). She held lessons of industrial decor at the  Faculty of Architecture in Reggio Calabria and on the planning of the surface  in Florence. In 1984 she held a course on the trends of design for fashion  stylists at the Center for Professional Formation in Modena and collaborated  with the Società Immagine Industriale in the field dealing with product evolution  in the textiles, ceramics and furnishing sectors. Together with Daniel  Rozensztroch she took part in the "Escape Center" project and in 1985  she worked on "the evolution of signs in electronics" with Guido  Jannon and Franco Raggi. 
          The period spanning 1985-1988 saw a turning point in her approach and  attitude towards creativity. She became a consultant for image and production  development of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand on behalf of  UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) and the World Bank.  This activity resulted in the organization of exhibitions, conferences,  seminars and consultancy operations. 
          In 1988, in cooperation with Giulio Cappellini, she created  "Mondo" [World], an initiative which ranged from the design of  furniture and objects to the image project, marketing and the management of  creative staff. 
          Between 1988 and 1998 her activities literally 'exploded' in a multitude  of initiatives treating design, interior decoration and planning. All of these  culminated in her entering the Fashion World: with Piazza Sempione, as had  already been the case for "Mondo", she developed the concepts of the  trademark, sales outlet and showroom in Milan (followed by those in Rome,  Düsseldorf and Tokyo). 
          From 1995 to 1999 he starter a cooperation with many prestigious  companies of Italian sector. In 2006: new projects for Poliform. 
          Her Bijoux-shop designed for Salviati has just been inaugurated in  Paris, the first of forty such sales outlets. 
          And - to conclude for the present - seven new Piazza Sempione sales  outlets are being made ready for their opening dates in the United States.  |
