A narration about
Point, Line, Surface opens the doors to elements, gestures, and compositional choices of design and architecture, narrated by professionals such as Mario De Rosa - designer and owner of Vesoi - and architects Francesca Maione and Andrea Piccolo.
Francesca Maione Architetto
Francesca Maione Architect is located in the heart of Naples. The studio was born from the desire to integrate complement analysis into architectural design. Francesca Maione's goal is to give a unique and personal character to living spaces. Spanning various areas of architecture and blending functional design with the aesthetics of luxury, the "haute couture" of space comes to life.
arch. Andrea Piccolo - Studio MAAN
Andrea Piccolo graduated in Architecture in 2011 at Seconda Università di Napoli, with a thesis in architectural technology titled: "Energy Efficiency of Public Buildings: The Case Study of the Municipality of Monte Procida, Energy and Architectural Redevelopment Interventions." He specializes in residential construction, interior design, and tourism-receptive architecture. He has collaborated with various professionals in the Campania region and currently works with architect Maura Caturano from the MAAN Studio in Naples.
Mario De Rosa
Born in Naples in 1956, he came into contact with machines, men and materials from an early age in the family glass company: and just like that, a dream starts! Observer of the world, of beauty and of everything that surrounds us, he believes in his work and even more in his personal relationship, always placed at the center of his transversal thinking of entrepreneurial vision. Mario De Rosa now lives between Naples and Milan, cities that are differently stimulating and formative. He creates his products in the production district of north-eastern Italy, and that's where his ideas take shape; he collaborates with planners and designers, holds lighting engineering courses in collaboration with the S.U.N University of Naples and the Technological Pole of Monterrey (Mexico); he proudly coordinates the technical and graphic department within the company. Since 1998 he has been a member of Assoluce FLA and since 2014 he sits on the Board of Directors.
Vesoi
Vesoi is today one of the most significant and expressive industrial realities of Italian lighting design, thanks to continuous and constant research and innovation that interprets today's styles and trends. The stylistic code is aimed at best interpreting the needs of contemporary living, between freedom of interpretation and "open projects" that adapt to all spaces, in total respect for the environment. In Vesoi's business philosophy, social responsibility is a fundamental concept, which is mixed with the choice and the desire to enhance the relationship with the territory in which it was born and where it promotes the culture of work as a social value. Founded in 1981 by Mario De Rosa, Vesoi has its main production site in the industrial area of North Naples and an appendix in the north-east (Scorzè - VE), a strategic unit in the largest furniture production district: north and south are integrated by adding production opportunities and uniqueness. Vesoi… 40 years young!
