In a few years you won’t own a single electronic device.
Objects are becoming obsolete too fast and everything is continually in beta anyway.
Subscriptions (or rent) will keep us up to date, closing the product cycle, while keeping hazardous materials away from landfills.
Continuous backups will transfer seamlessly from the old device to the new one.
New laws will probably written to protect us from being locked to a system or brand.
I’m tired of having my house full gadgets, cables, batteries that are rendered useless in just a couple of years…
I’m ready for this, and so are you.



Ultra simple side table.
Materials:
Wood/ Laquered MDF
Metal tube
A couple of screws
Inspired by Eileen Grey’s E1027 table even though it does not bear the functionality of the original.
Want to produce it?
Send me an email.

Sass is a rock-like collection of planters.
Made in roto-molded polyethylene they can be produced in any size.
There’s a gap between the two pieces that allows the plant’s roots to breathe and prevents root rot.
I think this would be a perfect addition to Serralunga’s line.
If you have a company and are interested in manufacturing Sass don’t hesitate to contact me.

As we pack, sell, and digitize our media we will be left with surplus space in our homes…
How will we fill up this material void?
What will our houses look like?

Gardens come inside.
Not pots and planters, but an evolution of the colonial patio.
Plants are the centerpiece of the home, where connecting with nature is of utmost importance.
A percentage of it is devoted to edible plants and herbs.

Surfaces will be dominated by screens.
Watch a movie, photos, art, sur/hyperreal effects, waterfalls and forests; anything.
Mutating video breaks away from the rectangular frame.
This is the main night light source.

Walls will be as important as ever, even if their purpose as bearing structures fades away.
Huge windows become a possibility.
Moving walls create changing floor plans that suit your mood or use.

Open space wins and lets the uncluttered mind wander more.
More area is devoted to air.

Decoration and art merge.
Pieces will be highly personal and reflect who you are.
Most are useful beyond their aesthetic value.

Materials’ importance grows.
Walls, rugs, paint, cement, wood, and fabric will be joined by more specialized, washable, easily exchangeable, multi-use materials.
Even if the graphics convey a sense of minimalism, I highly doubt that is the way forward.
Humans will always be packrats, but the things that surround us, will change dramatically in the coming years.
