BIO
Franco Casotto has worked as a craftsman and cabinetmaker for twenty-five years, while Mattia Pasini is a young interior designer. They met by chance in 2011, and have worked together since then. Once dedicated to restoration only, today the workshop’s products bear modern as well as antique traits.
