It’s that time of year again. Our annual project Doppia Firma is back for its fourth edition and we are delighted to give you a sneak preview before the collection is unveiled at the Salone del Mobile.  An international collaborative project, Doppia Firma (Double Signature), pairs up international designers and master artisans to create inspiring, boundary-pushing new works. Below we reveal this year’s 19 pairings – see the masterpieces they produced by visiting Villa Mozart, Milan, during the Salone del Mobile from 9-14 April. We hope to see you there!
