I’m delighted that Trespolo has won the Compasso d’Oro, because I believe it’s an award given also to the idea of inclusion and welcome that, unusually, a small piece of furniture can express.

I share the joy of this prize with a young brand, Orografie, which is forging a design and production path of great entrepreneurial courage.

Trespolo is not just a double seat — it also lends itself to being a temporary workstation, a handy side table, an object that I would like to represent an open way of designing, capable of generating elements of free interpretation and use.”
