“A dog’s world” seen at Tearose # 2. Aurele’s maxi, two meter high, conceptual art dog shaped piece for Tearose is made of aromatic herbs and plants and is called, Dog Save The Green. Through this dog sculpture Tearose’s Alessandra Rovati Vitali states what she has been preaching for years; the importance of preserving the city’s green, by disseminating the philosophy of respect, balance and valorization of the atmosphere that surrounds us.

At Sawaya & Moroni.
The stackable Dalmare chair designed by William Sawaya for Sawaya & Moroni. The chair opens up like a valve in a shell, a maritime reference emphasized by the tight series of ribs that break its profile. These grooves are not only artifices, but functional features whose purpose is to make the structure more robust.
