His knowledge of twentieth-century Italian design feels more lived than studied, shaped by years spent researching, restoring, and handling objects firsthand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the heart of his practice is a fascination with discovery. Davide is constantly searching for overlooked pieces, tracing their histories, identifying their makers, and uncovering stories that might otherwise be lost. Through Il Restaurato, sourcing, research, and restoration become part of the same process: understanding an object well enough to give it a future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat future is just as important as the past. Every piece that leaves his workshop is carefully restored with respect for its original character, while ensuring it remains fully functional and ready for everyday use. Drawers glide smoothly, lights work as intended, and surfaces retain the patina of age without sacrificing practicality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is a collection that feels neither precious nor nostalgic.
