In the architecture sector, they designed the school complex of Scandolara (TV), a few renovation projects in the historical centre of Venice, display and exhibition venues and halls for various companies (among which the Leucos offices in Scorzè). Since 2002 they have been working in East Africa and Tanzania at the request of the Benedictine Monks of the Camaldoli Community, designing three monasteries in Mafinga, Dar es Salam and Karatu (Ngorongoro). In the design field, they work with various companies: from industrial inlays to padded furniture, from home furnishings to fabrics, in addition to, of course, lighting fixtures and objects made of glass. They held solo exhibitions at Palazzo Grassi in Venice, participated in group exhibitions at the Louvre Museum, at the Pompidou Centre in Paris and at the MOMA in New York, in addition to having received many awards and acknowledgements at the international level.
