New ways to shape the objects in our lives
As designers in these parts of the world, we have been lucky enough to have some great masters that showed us new ways to shape the objects in our lives, after having conceived – with sensitivity, curiosity and enthusiasm for experimenting – new possible ways of working by looking at the almost spontaneous gesture or natural behaviours of people, as they talk or write or wait, or when they look for a more comfortable and less rigid position by moving restlessly.
