All of my influences are mixed, not half of me is Japanese, half of me is Italian. It's the same thing also for the influence of design: Shiro Kuramata, Achille Castiglioni, and Denis Santachiara, each influence, each cultural stimulation, it makes me.

Maybe it's unusual to make sugar bowls with glass, but for me it's so natural I cannot explain, it's clear. I know a German company copied this idea but ceramic but doesn't function in the same way, it's not transparent, it cannot have the same concept.

Usually diaries have pages and you have to turn the pages, but time is continuous so it's easier to see in this way. I consider this type of design not graphic design, but something like service design because it must be very functional.
