MarquetryMania was a collection that pushed our signature marquetry and parquetry work to a more playful, experimental place. We applied linear geometric patterns to rounded, unexpected forms, combined bold colour pairings, and introduced mirrored surfaces to create reflections that multiplied and distorted the patterns. It was a deliberate departure from the refinement our work is usually associated with, a chance to ask what happens when craft gets to be less serious.

At Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy's most prestigious furniture and design fair, Fratelli Rossetti, the historic Italian luxury shoe brand founded in 1953, presented a limited-edition boot featuring a heel co-designed with our studio. We brought our signature marquetry inlay technique to the heel, creating a decorative element that drew on Arab geometric craft traditions. It was a small but precise meeting point between Italian shoemaking heritage and our approach to surface and pattern.
