Sissis Wonderland

Sissis Wonderland is a reading space for children, covering 108 square meters in Shanghai. The layout is inspired by the game of blowing bubbles, as rooms of different scales are joined together so that open and private areas overlap. Wood is the main material, combined with white paint and a soft grey floor finish. Stairs of varied heights, bookshelves that also serve as seats, zigzagging ramps and small arches are built to a child scale. Green plants grow where the spaces meet. The design turns the space itself into a large toy for exploration and play.

La Goccia

La Goccia is an interior design for a restaurant and bar set on two floors. The first floor is dedicated to Italian food, while the second floor holds the bar. The two-story slab was excavated to form a patio, and the wine rack behind the bar was extended upward to create a seven-meter-high wine tower. A large opening on the facade makes the wine tower visible from the street. Mirror stainless steel widens the limited height of the second floor, and brass surfaces are obtained by plating copper on stainless steel. Light sources are hidden to avoid glare.
