Matteo Ragni was born in 1972 and graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano. Since 1994 he has worked across both industrial and craft production, and his work has twice received the Compasso d'Oro, alongside the Good Design Award and the Wallpaper Design Award. For Billiani he designed Stella (2024), a wooden chair conceived for contract interiors. Its enveloping back ends in two sharp cuts drawn from the points of a star, a single precise gesture on an otherwise calm and solid form. Seat and back are generously padded for sustained comfort. The collection extends from the dining chair to high stools and lounge chairs, so one profile can carry through an entire project.
