Born in Italy from a British background, Richard studied in London and then worked as an architect and designer in Beijing, Rabat, Seville and Paris.
He finally settled down in Milan, where he runs a creative studio focusing on architecture, interiors and objects. His work is mostly concerned with scarcity, both as an external condition and as an intellectual attitude. Beyond the minimalist aesthetics lies a research for the essence of both form and function, the intention to find new paradigms for everyday objects that often leads to transcend the object itself.
