A meaningful collaboration with .
To imagine a collection of small everyday objects designed for living together.

Today, I’m very happy to share the official presentation of Itsumo Pet Yunoki Ware and the interview published in the Alessi Journal, where I talk about the vision behind the collection.

It was also a great honour that Naoto Fukasawa chose to translate the philosophy into forms, decorations, and poetry with such extraordinary sensitivity and remarkable simplicity.

Itsumo pet Yunoki ware: from table to bowl, a symbol of affection and everyday life, is the extension of the the existing human tableware, created from the desire to design functional, well-crafted objects that make living with pets even more refined and enjoyable.

Developed with the advice of The HAD Human Animal Design® , the series places the concept of relationship at its core, expressed through affiliation - or being part of a family - and affection, understood as genuine interest and care, promoting everyday gestures that strengthen the connection between people and animals.

The intention is not to project human characteristics onto animals, but to reinforce the emotional value that the relationship with them has within the family context transforming mealtimes into a gesture of care, where feeding becomes an expression of attention and belonging.

Itsumo is gesture of care, where feeding becomes an expression of connection, attention, and belonging.

Ospiti di Giulia Crivelli nella puntata di "Animale a chi?" Su .

"II gatto è uno sperimentatore, un pioniere, un innovatore, per natura e per personalità. Vive la dimensione zenitale non necessariamente pre- costituita.
Il cane, di contro, vive la dimensione orizzontale, il contatto con la terra, anche se spesso preferisce condividere il divano di casa, come luogo di affezione affiliazione e di contatto con il proprietario e con i suo odori".

Un'occasione per parlare anche dell'approccio The HAD Human Animal Design , del Corso di Pet Design al Poli.design e del Pet Design District.

In the interview by Cristiana Gattoni , I had the opportunity to share the vision behind the Pet Design District from the criteria that guided the selection of participating brands to the broader cultural direction of the project.

a growing awareness among pet owners, and a more inclusive, responsible approach from companies increasingly attentive to multispecies living and to the real needs of animals within domestic environments.

The event was conceived precisely with approach in mind: not just showcasing products, but promoting a design culture that balances aesthetics, function, and animal welbeing, while redefining the relationship between humans and their pets.
