Laviani took the audience on a fascinating journey through his experience in the world of design. Starting from his roots in the school of lutherie and transitioning through furniture design, he shared his reflections on creating objects that go beyond mere functionality, aiming to evoke emotions and personal connections.
“The world is full of windows filled with chairs, lamps, and tables, so why should anyone choose a new one designed by me? The answer is simple: to make people see my products with the same eyes as when they fall in love with someone.”
