the team

FACES OF CLOU . We are a creative team.

Self-irony is an often underestimated quality that instead has extremely positive functions in our communication and relationship with others.
In the FacceDaClou photographic project, which may seem like a nice madness, we try to convey an important message: "Creativity is in each of us and creativity needs courage".

Being immortalized by making a funny face is equivalent to showing oneself intimately in what is a creative gesture.

An experience that suggests us not to take ourselves too seriously and to know how to laugh at ourselves, at the same time gratifying our self-esteem for having overcome the innate reluctance to expose our creative side.

creativity requires courage ...

mission and vision

I want...
a space that offers an experience

"Intercepting and anticipating the needs of our customers, looking for answers and concrete solutions to support their Retail project"

The spaces in which we work interact with ours mood, they speak of our brand, our values and how we relate to the outside world. In a retail space, be it a boutique, an outlet or other, the theme is even more relevant and not taking it into account would be a serious mistake.

The 85% of consumers are willing to spend more on a product in exchange for a relevant experience; in addition to competence and availability, they ask for a predisposition to positivity and enthusiasm. In an extremely competitive and saturated supply market, it is essential and at the same time urgent to take these aspects into consideration. 

Therefore, designing and creating a retail space cannot be limited to the study of the correct product path, or to the adequate and effective display of products.

A project capable of retaining your customers must also guarantee places where it is good to be. And it is here that our Mission finds its reason for existance: design environments that take care of your customers for transform your business into an attractive space designed to stimulate quality relationships.

my story

My memories

In the 70's being born and growing up in a small village in the heart of the Brianza area meant having a sealed destiny.

When your days are punctuated by the noise of woodworking machines, the scent of this noble material fills your spaces, and one of the favorite places to play and experiment is the family workshop, okay, but what will you ever want to do when I grow up…

Within a radius of 100 meters around our house you could count a dozen shops specialized in different fields: from those who specialized in the production of kitchen furniture, those in lacquering with hand-made floral decorations, those in wood turning, those in construction of huge stairs made with precious woods.

During the summer holidays it was customary to work in the family shop, I remember that sweeping the floors from scrap shavings was a job that required a specific technique, which with maniacal severity was taught to the boys, who, for at least the first two years, did not it was allowed to do other things, if not to act as apprentices to the most experienced workers.

There were no internship training courses or theoretical or practical lessons to learn the trade, to learn it was necessary to “steal with the eyes”, a silent and humble teaching that came in handy in all the other business areas that I had to face.

Even today the curiosity and the desire to experiment have not abandoned me, and treasuring my mistakes, I never stop learning new things.
