Emanuele Ricci

Emanuele Ricci was born in Arpino, Italy, on August 22, 1991. He lives and works in Paris.

His subjects: architectural composition, spaces and the way they are inhabited.

In 2017, he began a research project at UBA FADU in Buenos Aires, whose theme "the garden city", questions the future of the Argentine megalopolis, in full demographic growth by proposing a system to control urban sprawl and make the city sustainable and compact. He is also examining housing emergencies in South American megacities as part of the international conference organized by Althea International on the subject.

In 2018, he founded the SESTO STUDIO agency, which reflects on contemporary architecture, radical design and visual art. His language creates projects with enduring identities that tell a contemporary story, made of tradition and innovation. Emanuele continues to work in parallel at Ateliers Jean Nouvel as an architect.

The metal console (SESTO STUDIO) uses a raw material linked to the world of construction, but treated to give it a new life as a noble material in a domestic context.
The shape is reminiscent of a facade module in a modernist building. Structurally redesigned for maximum lightness, the console becomes a sculptural multifunctional object.
