Counting of love
Contrary to what you might imagine, “Latin lover” bed, was not inspired by the well-known scandals concerning the Italian Primer Minister. It was inspired, instead, from a friend of mine with whom I shared an apartment during university years.
He used to employ the wall of his bedroom as a surface for keeping count of his love conquests. “Latin lover”, is both a game and a provocation, but it is also the representation of a certain
mentality, which experiences making love as
a countable and collectable object.

“When I was a child, my passion for football could not be completely fulfilled by playing all day in the public parks of my hometown. For this reason in the evening I used to keep on playing at home with all sort of different balls, with great joy of my mum that saw our house constantly in danger. Unfortunately, while growing up, I started to watch sport on the sofa more than actively playing it on the field. This fact was the inspiration for Lazy football, the symbol of my unstoppable passion for football, designed in a new comfortable home version.”
