This collaboration joins Davide Bozzini of the Opaca Lab studio and Nicola Tonin of Tosca Design. Tonin, born in Padua in 1980, trained as a furnishing-industry technician, earned a master's degree from CUOA Business School in Vicenza in 2011 and founded Tosca Design in 2019, a team working across industrial design, interiors and the visual arts.
