Projects & Designers
Break
The BREAK armchair draws inspiration from the soft lines of classical design. An ongoing dialogue between forms, a signature of William Mulas, creates a fluid, coherent line that rises from the leg into the armrest and continues into the backrest. A distinctive cut deliberately interrupts the backrest’s symmetry, breaking its formal balance and giving the chair its unmistakable character. This defining gesture gives BREAK its name.
The frame is made entirely from carbon steel sheet. The seat, slender yet generous in volume, is upholstered in natural cork.
Warm and soft to the touch, cork brings a welcoming sense of comfort to every moment of rest.
Trinuk
Trinuk: An Artistic Gift for Your Love Story
Trinuk is an interactive artwork to give to someone you love, inviting you to discover and celebrate your unique bond. More than a gift to unwrap, it is an emotional experience unfolding in two special moments.
Act One — The Parchment: The recipient receives an elegant envelope, sealed by hand with genuine sealing wax. Inside, an artist-designed parchment announces the gift, explains the project’s meaning and builds anticipation for what comes next.
Act Two — The Totem: A few days later, the object itself arrives. Together, you assemble it as a couple, winding a red thread around its structure to complete the artwork.
Once assembled, bring your smartphone close to the totem to open a private page, with no app to install. An AI then guides you through an intimate, personalised conversation. Drawing on your answers, it reveals your ‘Couple Archetype’: the deeper essence of your relationship, which you can write on the parchment as a lasting expression of your bond.
L'ombra dell' Etna
This exploration of light seeks to make the volcano’s inner activity visible to the human eye, recreating its reflections through light and materials.
Material research lies at the heart of the design: orange light merges with a steel mesh structure.
Inside, the reflective surface of the mirror creates a harmonious interplay of light, contrasting with the black exterior finish.

VENA & ECO - Bio Design
Vena and Eco are designed and made entirely by SISMA, using 3D printing with bio-based filaments derived from corn. Green energy powers more than 90% of production.
VENA draws inspiration from mountain landscapes, distilling the veins in rock, the fractures of crevasses and the small streams running down mountainsides into a highly stylised form.
ECO, the second creation, takes its inspiration from the acoustic phenomenon of an echo. Its flowing silhouette begins with a round base, expands generously and then tapers towards the top.
LIMEN
Every memorable design begins with an obsession or a contrast. Limen, named after the Latin word for ‘threshold’ or ‘boundary’, was inspired by walks through the travertine quarries of Tivoli and Rome’s twentieth-century Rationalist architecture.
At its heart is a fascination with stone: a material formed over millennia by water and time, yet capable of appearing strikingly modern when cut into clean lines.
Limen is a miniature architectural composition. Unlit, it rests on the wall like an abstract bas-relief, a quiet interplay of geometry. When illuminated, warm light grazes the stone’s porous surface, revealing its ancient texture and casting a soft halo over brushed metal. It is designed for spaces that embrace visual calm, where luxury is expressed quietly through the integrity of pure materials.
