Since always I'm interested in product design and research. My role in the Slow/d company is mainly to recruit artisans and designers to participate in their project.

Sebastiano collaborates with several architectural studios and firms, focused on research and overall design. I started years ago as a researcher at DARC - Domus Academy Research and Consulting - in Milan, where I was involved in international projects, in research and as a tutor for some Master programme in both interior and product design.

I soon got involved in the Slow/d project with enthusiasm, fascinated by it's mission to spread high quality design linked to the artisan world.

Slow/d is the web platform that brings together product designers, craftenterprises and customers, building a democratic and sustainablepeer-to-peer product chain, providing for a systematic and affordableaccess to innovation for SMEs. The definitive tool for prototyping,technology brokerage and mass customization.

Slow/d has shaped the "Kilometer Zero Design" concept: adistributed factory, which produces on-demand through the web onbuyers' territory, disrupting manufacturing forever.
