Italian creative director working across multimedia, design, branding and cultural projects, exploring the space between perception, atmosphere and creative expression.
Growing up between fashion and introspection created an early duality that still defines the work today.
On one side, a strong connection to the world of design and visual culture through his father, Stefano Cavalleri, founder of the childrenswear brand I Pinco Pallino.
On the other, a more intuitive and internal dimension influenced by his mother’s approach to meditation & alternative lifestyle.
This tension between structure and intuition became the foundation of an ongoing exploration of the creative process.
The journey takes shape in London at Central Saint Martins, where the real education happens as much outside as inside the institution. The city’s underground scene — electronic music, early video art and experimental environments — opens a new direction.
Influenced by projects like System 7, where sound and image merge into immersive experiences, a shift happens: creativity is no longer seen as output, but as a process driven by perception, rhythm and atmosphere.
Back in Bergamo, everything starts from a 16 m² studio with the creation of Micro-studio — an independent practice moving between fashion, design and visual communication.
Early collaborations develop around I Pinco Pallino and lighting design studio Pollice Illuminazione, while parallel independent initiatives begin to take shape through events and happenings, including projects in the Chiostro spaces, where music, visuals and atmosphere start to converge.
A first light installation is presented during Milan Design Week, marking an early exploration of space and perception.
The practice later expands internationally with the creation of Micro-studio LLC in New York, engaging with a more structured and competitive creative environment across fashion, branding and corporate projects — a phase of growth, scale and confrontation with the industry.
Returning to Italy, the focus shifts toward building connections and platforms.
Made in Bergamo emerges as a way to connect designers and creative practices, later presented in London during Clerkenwell Design Week, bringing local creativity into an international context.
At the same time, projects such as the urban initiative around the Sentierone and Kidsrevolution, presented at Pitti Immagine Bimbo, reflect an interest in hybrid formats between fashion, design and cultural production.
A radical shift follows, moving toward Marrakech & Bali, where the work reconnects with a more instinctive and experiential dimension.
Projects such as Dar Pinco and Lila Boutik Residence explore the intersection between hospitality, design and cultural exchange — environments where creativity happens through people, atmosphere and shared experience.
At the same time, there is a return to direct expression through events, VJing, music and visual experimentation — reconnecting with the early influences of London.
Today the focus comes full circle: exploring how perception, environment, sound and intuition can activate the creative process, developing projects, experiences and workshops where creativity is not just produced, but lived.
