Great evening at the LEMA London flagship store for the Salone del Mobile 2026 presentation.
It was inspiring to listen to Carlo Colombo, Architect & Designer, in conversation with Simon Hamilton and to experience the atmosphere around the new collection preview. Events like this are always a reminder of how Italian design continues to combine elegance, research, craftsmanship and timeless simplicity.
A pleasure to meet designers, creatives and professionals from across the industry in such a refined setting in London.

Olivetti Theatre: Architecture as Civic Infrastructure
We are pleased to share a new article presenting the concept and research behind the Olivetti Theatre project in Ivrea, Italy — recently awarded the Gold Mention – ISOPAN “Flat Roof” Award in the international competition organized by YAC and Manni Group.
The project explores how architecture can once again become a catalyst for civic life, collective identity, and cultural exchange, reinterpreting Adriano Olivetti’s humanistic vision of the “factory-city” through a contemporary civic and environmental approach.
Rather than imagining the theatre as an isolated object, the proposal develops a permeable public platform integrating culture, education, workspaces, wellness facilities, adaptive reuse, and green public infrastructure within the historic Olivetti campus.
The article presents the architectural strategy, urban vision, environmental systems, and spatial concepts behind the project.

Our design proposal for the Secondary School in Djilakh, Senegal.

A climate-responsive campus designed around shaded courtyards, natural ventilation, and lightweight, modular systems that can grow over time.
More than a building, we envisioned a flexible educational environment rooted in community, dignity, and resilience.
Grateful to the MBA Architect's team for the dedication and creativity behind this proposal.

Team: Matteo Borsetti, Charles Fang, Milina Jayalathge
