Alessandra Baldereschi, a designer of the new generation, who has a special anthropological sensitivity, traces the Italian manufacturing tradition with her latest collection Donut, produced by Mogg. Inspired by growers, chairs and stools have a slender iron structure and slightly padded seats to ensure contemporary comfort, woven by hand with marsh grass (green sedge). The unprecedented result, thanks to the return to folk tradition, appears instantly familiar, offering an image that alludes, in filigree, to rural Italian kitchens.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
