About
Mended things are the best things
Born in 1998 in Verbania, Lake Maggiore, Italy. 2023 was busy: I graduated in Fashion Design at IED Milan, started a creative project, Maison Metamorfosi, and accidentally changed the course of my life… I now live and work in Vienna.
Maison Metamorfosi is my personal art project.
My research in fashion and design stems from listening to nature and the desire to give new life to reclaimed materials. I believe in the beauty of imperfections and in the possibility of transforming what is vulnerable into something precious.
I transform forgotten fragments into unique pieces of fashion and furniture. Inspired by the kintsugi philosophy, I breathe new life into restored pieces and textured gold-leaf art. My mission is to merge art with sustainable design, celebrating the beauty found in imperfection.

Website for Dott. Alberto Calderoni, dental studio
16 October 2026
I built the website from scratch. I listened to the colours he wanted (Blue Iris, Mimosa and a bright orange on white) and to the vibe he wanted to convey: friendly, playful and reassuring, summed up in “Smile. Prevention, colour, play.”
The project includes an animated logo (a tooth that falls, bounces and ripples before the name appears), the colour chart, a moodboard and a mobile version.

mmetamorfosi: brand identity

A fashion and art label built on kintsugi: wounds repaired in gold. The double "m" mirrors past and future, waste and rebirth. The heart logo is cracked and mended with a branch.
The path from sketches of broken-glass hearts to a finished logo, a social template and a website with nine sections.

Thesis collection: mmetamorfosi
No season
A women’s collection inspired by kintsugi and by the work of Billie Bond and Daniel Arsham. Discarded textiles are recovered and transformed through embroidery and manipulation, in black, gold and cream.
Seven looks developed from moodboards and sketchbook to technical drawings, lookbook and an editorial shooting.
Gold leaf, black relief lines and recovered glass: from the fluid painting of 2019 to paintings imagined in homes, and the concept for Resti, a sculpture-installation made of collected glass.
