Italian design studio Cara e Davide is known internationally for its well-made tables, chairs and storage cabinets. The brand’s sculptural furnishings, which feature sleek curving forms and architectural columns that are attention-grabbing in any space, owe to ongoing research in regional materials, processes and experimentation with various techniques.
Cara e Davide comes from the names of the studio's founding designers, South African artist Cara Judd and Italian artist Davide Gramatica. They met while they were attending IED Milano, studying product design.
After graduating in 2011, Judd and Gramatica began their professional design careers separately — they explored various areas that included apprenticeships at ateliers and workshops and working with both small studios as well as large-scale companies. Five years later, the two decided to merge their talents and established the Cara e Davide studio in Milan. That same year, they exhibited their first furniture collection at the Salone del Mobile, garnering acclaim among critics and private clients. The studio unveiled a second collection at the London Design Fair.
Cara e Davide specializes in designing contemporary furniture — they’ve created bold pieces by working with wood-based filament printing technologies, Rosso Levanto marble, aluminum and more. The studio’s offerings are frequently produced in collaboration with artisans from South Africa and Italy. The brand has partnered with a range of manufacturers, art spaces and retailers to create these works, including Rinascente, Medulum, Portego, Uniqka, Aybar Gallery and Galerie Philia. When Judd and Gramatica are not in their studio, they’re teaching product design at IED Milan.

Yoko Coffe Table, in canaletto Walnut, by Serena Confalonieri for Medulum
By Serena Confalonieri
Located in Meolo, Venezia
Yoko collection designed by Serena Confalo- nieri for Medulum consists of 3 wooden coffee tables. The pieces are characterized by the repetition of trian- gular elements, which visually refer to the Japanese art of origami. This recourse to geometric repetition is further high- lighted through the creation of an embossed linear texture which, on the surface, generates further ge- ometries, while, on the legs, it leads to different front and back of the surface, just like a sheet of paper. Various heights and sizes allow this coffee table collection to be placed both inside private homes, living and sleeping areas, and in public and hospitality facilities. The Yoko coffee tables...
