Melting Design: Where Contemporary Art Meets the Magic of Reflections
It all started with a simple yet bold idea: to transform an everyday, static object into a dynamic visual experience that evokes joy, nostalgia, and wonder. My gelato-shaped mirrors and glossy "no-mirrors" are far more than simple home decor; they are vibrant pieces of contemporary pop art. They are designed not just to occupy a space on a wall, but to catch the eye, spark a conversation, and bring a splash of irony and Italian lightheartedness into your daily life. Every time you look at one of these pieces, you aren't just looking at an object—you are looking at a moment of sweetness frozen in time, an invitation to never take life too seriously.




The Journey: From a Pencil Sketch to the Eternal Beauty of Verona
Every single project in this collection begins its life as a simple, hand-drawn pencil sketch in my studio. But its soul? Its soul is deeply and inextricably rooted in my land. I am incredibly proud to share that every single piece is born and crafted in Verona, Italy—the legendary city of love, known across the globe for the tragic romance of Romeo and Juliet and the majestic, thousand-year-old Arena.




Living surrounded by such eternal architectural beauty and history inspires me daily to create unique objects that are meant to last. My "Gelatos" are produced entirely within the Verona district, a unique territory where ancient artisanal craftsmanship seamlessly meets the absolute peak of modern industrial excellence. From the very first technical drawing to the precision cutting of the acrylic and the final assembly, every single step of this creative and productive journey happens right here, in the heart of Italy. By combining high-tech manufacturing with a meticulous, hands-on passion for details, we ensure that each mirror is not just a piece of decor, but a certified masterpiece of contemporary pop design. This project is my personal, heartfelt tribute to a city that has taught the world how to fall in love with beauty, elegance, and the authentic spirit of the "Dolce Vita." 






Engineering Beauty: The Secret of the 6mm Layering and UV Brilliance
In the world of design, true quality is something you can feel with your hands. I didn't want a flimsy product; I wanted a solid, high-end masterpiece. That is why each "Gelato" is composed of a sturdy double-layer of premium 3mm + 3mm plexiglass. This total thickness of 6mm provides a satisfying weight and a physical, three-dimensional depth that makes the "melting" effect feel incredibly real and alive as shadows play between the layers.
To achieve this surgical level of perfection, we utilize latest-generation laser cutting technology. This process ensures that every curve is perfectly rendered, allowing the two layers to fit together with absolute precision. But the magic doesn't stop at the shape. Our textures and colors are applied using state-of-the-art UV printing technology. Unlike traditional printing, UV curing creates colors that are remarkably vibrant, deep, and—most importantly—resistant to the passage of time. These colors won't fade or peel; they are fused into the material, ensuring your artwork remains as brilliant as a fresh scoop of artisanal gelato for decades to come






Beyond the Reflection: A Pop Art Revolution in Your Home
Why do I call them "No-Mirrors"? Because I believe that sometimes art doesn't need to show you your own face—it needs to reflect your soul and your personality. My work sits at the vibrant intersection of Functional Design and Urban Pop Art. I took the most iconic symbol of the Italian summer—the gelato—and decided to "freeze" its melting moment forever in a high-tech material.
The true artistic challenge was to recreate the visual softness and the "dripping" sensation of artisanal cream using a solid, technical, and rigid material like plexiglass. The result is a fascinating visual paradox: a surface that is mirrored or ultra-glossy, yet appears completely liquid and flowing. It is a modern object that awakens childhood memories, breaks the cold monotony of blank walls, and invites anyone who enters the room to smile and wonder: "Wait, is that really a mirror or is it actually melting?" 

The Essence of Made in Italy: A Passionate "Zero-Kilometer" Production
A Local Supply Chain for Global Quality In an age of anonymous mass production, I have chosen a different path. I do not delegate the quality of my vision to distant factories. Every single phase of the creation—from the high-precision laser cutting to the specialized UV printing, and finally to the secure, protective packaging—is carried out within a radius of just a few kilometers in the Verona area. This "short supply chain" (Chilometro Zero) is my guarantee to you. It allows me and my dedicated team to personally oversee every single minute of the process, ensuring that not a single millimeter is out of place.
The Human Touch: Assembled by Hand in Verona While we embrace high-tech machinery for technical precision, the "heart" of every Melting Design object remains human. Every piece is painstakingly assembled by hand by skilled Veronese artisans who carry generations of manufacturing mastery in their fingers. Each layer is meticulously cleaned, perfectly aligned, and bonded with care, passing through a rigorous multi-point quality check. This manual assembly ensures that when you hold one of these pieces, you are holding the work of a real person, a fruit of local ingenuity. 


🍦 The Nano Collection: The Thrill of the Mystery Pack
For the most passionate collectors and those who love a bit of mystery, I’ve created the Nano Collection. This is where art meets the fun of "Urban No Toys." Inspired by the global cult of "blind boxes," these miniature 3D masterpieces bring the entire Melting Design experience into a pocket-sized, highly collectible format.
The Hunt for the Rarest "Flavor" Opening a Mystery Pack is like a first date with a piece of art—you never know exactly who you'll meet. But for the lucky few, the packs hide secrets that only the most dedicated will find:
The Ultra-Rare "Gold" Edition: Only 50 pieces exist in the entire world. This is the ultimate "Holy Grail" for any serious design collector.
The Special Numbered Series: A limited run of only 100 pieces, each individually numbered and featuring exclusive textures that play with light in unique ways.


The Collector’s Corner: Limited Editions & Artist Signatures
 I am a firm believer that great design must have a soul and a profound sense of exclusivity. For the most discerning collectors and backers who want to own an authentic piece of history, I have reserved the Numbered Limited Editions. These exclusive pieces bridge the gap between contemporary home furniture and museum-grade gallery art, offering a unique opportunity to elevate your personal space:
  • Exclusive Numbering: Each Limited Edition piece is individually numbered and comes with a physical Certificate of Authenticity, proving its origin and rarity. This official document ensures that your investment remains unique, tracked, and highly valued over time.

  • Hand-Signed by the Artist: I will personally hand-sign every single Limited Edition piece. This isn't just a signature; it's my personal guarantee of quality and a mark that turns a premium design object into a true, valuable investment for your private art collection.
