There are moments, at the beginning of a project, when the space is not yet defined. There are no solutions, no final images: there is only a feeling. Often it is a detail that points the way: a material, a texture, a combination that already seems right, even before it is explained.
Decoration as a design principle
Detail is not an addition; it is a principle. It does not come at the end to complete, but at the beginning to suggest. In decoration work, detail is often considered a final, almost ornamental gesture. Yet it is precisely there that the meaning of a space is concentrated.
The quality of a project does not lie in the quantity of choices, but in the quality of the relationships established between them. When done consciously, decoration is a silent practice that requires moderation, attention, and the ability to subtract.
Matter and time in living spaces
A fabric, an object, or a finish never exist on their own: they react to light, use, and context, introducing time into space. For this reason, interior design is never a single act, but a continuous process.
Material is the primary language of this process, even before form or style. It is through touch and physical presence that an authentic relationship with an environment is built. What is truly timeless does not follow trends: it retains its meaning even when everything around it changes.
Creating authentic environments: the art of choosing
The most interesting spaces are not those that impose themselves, but those that accompany. They are environments that do not need to explain themselves too much, ready to leave space for the life that passes through them.
Decorating, after all, does not mean filling. It means choosing what to keep.
