one of fourteen chosen to attend a design residency in Turin, Italy September 2026 with Designinquiry.

At Banca del Fare, an educational farmhouse in rural Italy, where visitors share knowledge, traditional building techniques and design activities through “learning by doing”, DesignInquiry will be exploring the topic of steeping. 

The Alta Langa, located in the higher-altitude, southern part of Piedmont’s Langhe hills, is a historic region defined by its rugged landscape, "Pietra di Langa" stone-walled terraces, and a long tradition of producing hazelnuts, cheese, and, since the 19th century, specialized sparkling wines. It is the birthplace of Italian traditional method sparkling wine, with its DOCG officially recognized in 2002.
