1. How did you fall in love with coffee and what does home coffee time mean to you?

Luca: "Sometimes, the people we encounter leave lasting impressions on us, shaping our passions and perspectives. My love for coffee blossomed from conversations with Marco, an old friend who now works as a barista at Orsonero, my favorite specialty coffee shop in Milan, Italy.

Brewing coffee at home has become a cherished daily ritual for me, allowing me to connect with the rich history and cultural significance of this beloved beverage. In a society where we often overlook the importance of what we consume, I feel comfort in savoring the privilege of enjoying quality food and drink, especially when shared with friends."



2. What is your background, how does that or anything else influence what you currently do?

Luca: "As a child, I dreamed of becoming an architect, leading me to pursue architecture in high school and later enroll in the design faculty at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. My time at the Academy influenced me to the importance of finding meaning in everything I do, a lesson I continue to cherish as I navigate through life. While seeking meaning can be challenging, I recognize that it requires both experience and knowledge, which I strive to attain through study and practical learning."



3. About visual and taste

Luca: "Taste, memory, and imagery are deeply conntected, evoking powerful emotions and nostalgic recollections. Each of us associates certain foods with childhood memories, turning food into a vivid projector of past experiences. I find this connection incredibly beautiful."



4. What is your inspiration?

Luca: "Inspiration can strike unexpectedly or be sought out deliberately. While it's challenging to pinpoint the exact source of my inspiration, I believe it stems from a multitude of interests and influences. Being naturally curious, I draw inspiration from diverse forms of art and creativity, blending different passions to spark new ideas."



5. Do you have a dream project?

Luca: "I aspire to find harmony among my diverse interests, ranging from design to photography and even coffee. Although I'm uncertain about the specific direction this idea will take, I am excited about the journey ahead and the possibilities that await in the future."
