Your favorite place in Milan:
My favorite place in the city at the moment is the Circolino del Pane, I designed it for the Davide Longoni bakery and it is a micro space in the back of a warehouse where dinners, breakfasts, tastings and human encounters that are always a little special take place.
Your favorite corner of the city:
The Martesana canal. I walk there almost every day, it is populated by bizarre animals and humans. I often stop to drink a coffee at the Tipografia Alimentare, it's a small corner of the city that makes me feel good.
Where do you buy a special birthday gift?
At the Assago market early in the morning.
What do you collect?
I collect spoons of different materials, sizes and origins.
The thing to never say or ask a designer:
“We have no budget for this project… but it can be important for your portfolio.”
If you could only have one drink your entire life, what would it be?
A cold glass of sparkling wine.
If you were a food what would you be?
A crescent of warm bread.
