Team
We know how to tell stories because we lived through so many.
We are made of memories, dreams, objects that we love, passions and obsessions. And the brands that tell us their story.
Our team is solid and compact, constantly enriched by specialists and freelancers that make it a free, fluid and highly creative group.
