The Studio Is well equipped for metal and wood fabrication, but the work is really about all materials and different elements of craft.  from ceramics to fabrics, all materials are worshipped, and all craftsmanship is revered. In opposition to our modern world, where "Fast Furniture" gives us glorified executions of form, but often with cheap veeners and the materials taking a backseat to design. Luigi's work is the opposite.  Often striving for the simplest and most aesthetically uncomplicated expressions, Luigi's designs are meant to showcase the work required to produce them, value the skilled labor, and honor the materials used. It's discouraging to see so many objects with plated brass finishes or plastic wood veneers,  where the craftsmen's labor to produce is treated as a line item meant to be optimized for cost. When it is such a pleasure to work and create things from real materials and to celebrate the craftsman's life-energy that is invested in the work. It is Luigi's belief that Natural materials and natural finishes will enhance any environment and provide a sense of meaningful connection. Within this line of thought, the work tends to be finished with Oils and wax rather than thick layers of polyurethane, acrylic paints, or plastic-powdercoat. As such, the pieces will gather painta over their years of use, and in this way the pieces dynamically engage the environment and the users.
