Specchio Anticato
“Who doesn’t love mirrors? I love them! Always have, always will. You don’t get tired of them, as you sometimes do with paintings on the wall. They reflect the light, open up any room and give it new dimensions. I love this French look mixed with Italian steel chairs from 1978. It is big and completely hand made, something you don’t see very often, and I am so proud of it.”

Ciotola Increspato
Mouth blown
“I always look for objects that are both grand and beautiful but have a clear function. This bowl, made of glass, is inspired by an ornamental bowl in my Palazzoonly this one is suitable for food, flowers and more.”
LMO0007 | Amber | 69x69x29cm Glass |
Divano Lounge
brick
Foam | Ruffled vintage look
“I wanted to make a sofa that would be suitable for at least a family of six, like my own. It’s so hard to find one and when you do, they often have a boring design. And the ones with a cool design are often not comfortable. But the battle is over! This beautiful brown velvet sofa is both comfortable and big enough for a larger family or group of friends. I hope you will love it too.”
LMO0011 | Vintage

Teste di Moro Siciliane
resistant
“I love them, the first thing we bought for our palazzo! I bought a pair at a vintage market years ago. Apart from the fact that they are hand made, there is also a mysterious story behind them. In Palermo, a young woman decided to take revenge on her current lover who was about to leave her. While he slept she beheaded him, so that her lover would stay with her forever. She planted some basil which bloomed so beautifully that the whole neighborhood in Palermo copied the idea and made clay pots of the shape of a Moor head.”
LMO0005 | Set of 2 | 20,5x20x31,5cm | Stoneware Hand painted | Water
Gli otto Immortali
Bamboo | Hand made | Hand painted
“I like to mix the world in my interiors. This hand made and hand painted lantern is like a painting with light in it. The drawing depicts the Chinese mythology about the Eight Immortals, who are believed to know the secrets of nature. They individually represent the man, the woman, the old, the young, the rich, the noble, the poor, and the humble Chinese. The lantern is meant to be large enough for larger spaces, such as hotels and restaurants.”
LMO0010 | Brown | 68x68x125cm
Sedia fibra di vetro
Fiber reinforced plastics
“This chair is special because it is timeless! Put one alone to accentuate the room, or mix it up at a dining table with other chairs. Besides being very comfortable, it is a chair that goes with all styles.”

Ombrellone Floraele
LMO0006 | Printed multicolour | Diameter 200cm Wood | Polyester | Outdoor use
“I have been collecting fabrics for over 20 years now and this fabric is an old curtain that I once bought at an auction. The fabric was already in a very bad condition so I could only use a small part of it - but I could never throw it away. For this umbrella, we made a similar fabric but with more contrasts, and I have to say, this is the most beautiful umbrella I have ever seen. The fringes are perfect and the brownish colour is gorgeous!”
Lampada Floreale
LMO0009 | Floral printed linen |
Polished brass | Lamp shade top cover
“I once traded this copper vintage lamp from the 70s with a friend, she got my carpet and I got the lamp. It is huge - you can use it as a floor lamp or as a statement on your table. The lampshade is made from an old curtain, which is nowhere to be found anymore. So we made it again. And my friend? She is the luckiest of us all - because now she can buy ‘her’ lamp again!”
52,5x52,5x70cm
Lampada Celeste
Glass | Fabric
“This one is inspired by a lamp I once bought vintage, from Italy 1950. I have always been looking for a similar lamp, but could never find one, so this was my chance to design my own. It’s a funny lamp, the shade is unusual, I like that. Lamps are always a chance to add something extra to your home. Why buy a boring one you’ve seen before?”
LMO0008 | Blue & White | 43x43x77cm
LMO0004
Pouff in Lana
Grey & White
Long pile wool | Cotton waste filling
“This pouf made of wool is super cool! It is inspired by my fluffy rugs. You can use it as a chair - we put it in the hallway, perfect for sitting on while waiting for the rest of the family. But it also works well as a unique addition to your interior, a big fluffy ornament.”

melange | 52,5x52,5x70cm
Consolle in Marmo
Natural marble | Each piece is unique in colour
“I love it when products are not all the same. This table is made of natural marble, so each piece has a unique colour and pattern. The beautiful dark colour is something you don’t often see these days. It fits nicely in narrow hallways, bedrooms or maybe even in your bathroom.”
LMO0014 | Multicolour | 120x30x75cm
Coperta Patchwork
LMO0013 | Multicolour | 200x300cm
From different fabric patches | Hand made
“This quilt was designed for a show a few years ago. It was made of very exclusive fabrics and it took 3 weeks to make it. It became super expensive so I decided to keep it myself. But I don’t like having things that I don’t use because I’m afraid to break them. So I decided that we should make it again in this collection. The best part is that you can also use it as art on your wall, so it has multiple functions now.”
