Aperitivo is an Italian thing. No other nation could make that after-work, pre-meal drink and snack an event, and that is what it is, an event. A way to take stock of the day, to decompress, to relax, and yet to converse. To share ideas or to enjoy the company of others or your thoughts.
It is inherently Italian because it is what we do well: making moments, igniting conversations, and discussing what’s on the menu afterwards—socially and culinarily. So how do we translate this into design? How do we symbolise through design our culture? Materials and forms that personify elegance.
Mauro Lipparini goes even further. Marble tops, built-in ice buckets, swooping lines, and form, function, and practicality meeting high-end design. This is conversation, ideas, and elegance, a culture and design in unison.
