Green Box

10 June 2013

The garage of a house in Valtellina, at Cerido in the province of Sondrio, has been converted by the act_romegialli studio into a beautiful summerhouse with a kitchen and storeroom for gardening tools. A light steel framework encloses the preexisting structure and serves as a support for the dense and varied creepers that cover the whole construction. The furnishings and finishes are essential, with larch boards for the floors, galvanized steel for the windows and simple pipes for the supply of water.

She sits astride Italy, Belgium and Southeast Asia, and sometimes falls off. When asked what she does, she replies: I do things, see people. She has been writing about furniture for twenty years and is still not tired of it, in spite of everything. She has no free time, and is not even interested in it. For her it’s enough not to have to go to the same office everyday. She mixes with unlikely people, and contributes to Klat for this very reason.
