UFO by Arketipo Firenze - Sometimes it’s better to accept and believe. Sometimes it’s better to question and probe. But just saying, UFO says something else. It says make an entrance that people won’t forget, and sometimes won’t believe. UFO by Mauro Lipparini, where hospitality makes a grand arrival.
Fewer words than UFO have such universal meaning, no matter where you go. Think of how it speaks to something new, something unknown, something that shifts our perception of space and possibility. It’s a presence we can’t predict, an object we can’t quite define yet it stays with us. It’s an arrival of the senses.
And herein lies Mauro Lipparini’s, UFO. Captured, is a vision of fluidity and form, where sleek metal structure meets a spacious circular surface, a meeting point of elegance and practicality. It lands effortlessly in any space, expanding the very idea of hospitality—an invitation to gather, to connect, to explore.
The future never asks permission. It simply land in your living room. And that is precisely what UFO capture.
We’d be lost without our backpacks wouldn’t we? They carry our lives through the objects we love and give us flashbacks to times in school where life felt so much easier.
The older we get we use them to travel and to experience new adventures, our love for the backpack is thus universal for so many reasons.
It was those memories and all the things that we throw into our backpacks (physical and metaphorical) that made us think, why can’t base a design on those very ideas. We created a sofa that is not only functional but looks like the most inviting place to sit for hours and to relax. Back Pack takes the idea of what is comfortable to us for so many reasons and brings it to a whole new context.
Plush cushions, high quality wooden sections, modular concepts and a light touch to round off this stunning design.
We can go back as early as 4th Century BC China to find room separators. They allowed people of that time to create homogeneous spaces, dedicated to differentiated practices of use. One ceremonial, one private.
When we divide our interiors, we are making a conscious effort to bring something dynamic to a room, to the way we live and the way we respond to the challenges that our interiors face. In essence, a physical partition, like Hide Me, is representing the way we also choose to live our lives. We choose to move from one area to another in order to better manage each thing in separation.
And this is what Gino Carollo has managed to do. In Hide Me, he has created two different types of separation, one from the ground, the other from the ceiling. Each panel is a combination of more materials: zebrano or eucalyptus wood, mirror, varnished wood and metal inserts. By making this obvious contrast, this obvious separation so detailed and yet so measured it reflects our own internal needs and interior acknowledgements.

Lipparini here brings a vital sense of both rigor and versatility to the piece’s combined functions of holding and display. The horizontal surfaces, made of exotic eucalyptus wood, resonate with vertical panels of worked and textured metal in a stochastic pattern, yielding spaces like musical measures of different length. The combination of material and kinetic form makes Carter more than just a useful item for today. It stands ready to be a personal showcase for years to come, the physical expression of one’s spirit and mind and all one’s many stories.
