Collection: Hikaru Mori
After graduating from Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School in 1991, she moved to Milan, Italy. She mainly undertook design, architectural, and landscape projects from her integrated and fluid point of view. She has a particular interest in no-boundary architecture, connecting outside and inside, integrated space with humans and environments. She co-founded ZITOMORI in 1996 with Maurizio Zito, an architecture and design practice based in Italy, in Milan and Avellino. The objective of ZITOMORI’s work is to extract a shape from a vision, responding to complex programs at any scale, offering an integrated approach to design, architecture, landscape, and territory. Considering each project is unique with its own diversity, through a process of dialogue, research, and analysis, ZITOMORI arrives at the intuition to achieve specific and tangible design, challenging experimentation in contemporary architecture.
Major design works include the lighting system "ADAM" (LUCITALIA), and bathroom system "STONE LIKES WATER" (PIBAMARMI), Table Lamp IOTA and Carmencita (Nemo). Architectural works include Masseto (winery), FEUDI DI SAN GREGORIO (winery), Vigna la Corte (commercial and accommodation facility), Controne city riverside park and Irpinia Milan Expo Pavilion.
