Tell us about the creation of the Wellness Tools collection for the home.
The Wellness Tools were created out of the need to offer small, distinctive pieces of unique design, which are easy to use as well as very effective in engaging all muscle groups. Items that are easy to bring along with you, even when traveling.

What music do you listen to when practicing Wellness?
I tend to listen to New Age music. I prefer relaxing atmospheres that allow me to concentrate on training mind as well as my body.

Is the fact that Wellness originates in Italy a coincidence?
Wellness originates in Italy because here one finds – thanks also to the history and culture of Ancient Rome, which promoted the idea of “mens sana in corpore sano” – a fertile land where one can grow and prosper. Our quality of life depends greatly on how we take care of our physical selves. A healthy body develops a quicker mind, which improves social relationships as well.

Are there plans for a Wellness fashion collection?
We’re working on various new projects and are always looking for ways to capture and develop new trends in all areas of design tied to well-being.
