The operational areas move between the private, public and corporate sectors. The projects for new buildings are characterized by a clean and coherent language. The restorations dialogue with the existing heritage in a contemporary way. The studio has worked on a project for the city of Como that involves some of the most important historic villas on the shores of the lake, connecting them in an artistic, cultural and scientific path: the Chilometro della Conoscenza.

Eliza Oynus
The exhibition “Effimeri” takes place in a noble villa in Como from the 19th century, former residence of Alessandro Volta. The theme of lightness is interpreted by Oynus with two site-specific elements, the diffused electric rays linked to Volta and the collections of caterpillars and butterflies in vogue in the 19th century as a vehicle for socializing, as well as the foundation of the economy of this territory.

Elisabetta Necchio
The pictorial research of Elisabetta Necchio (b. Como, 1972) is oriented towards the world of contemporary traditional painting. She has long been interested in the techniques of hand-making paper, while in recent years she has taken up the lesson of her master Beppe Devalle, focusing on pure painting, made of the relationship between form-color-space that, starting from reality, recreates new images through the power of language. Her atelier is a work and exhibition space where one can witness the formation of the paper work, from the treatment of cellulose and the emergence of images, to the contamination with different materials, the use of matrices to impress the shapes, up to the formation of the final subject: a "sheet of paper" that is born whole, a real "painting" which does not require any subsequent pictorial or graphic intervention.
