We had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with Andrea Sensoli, the visionary behind SUPERFUTUREDESIGN*. This brand, which Andrea co-founded alongside his three partners—Cecilia Morosi, Iacopo Mannelli, and Andrea Rettori—is a sister concern of ASZarchitetti. Known for its luxurious architectural designs, the firm caters to high-profile clients across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. One of the company's standout strengths lies in its cutting-edge expertise in 3D visualization of architectural design. Their mission is to create award-winning architecture that not only reflects the present era but also bridges the gap between the traditions of the past and the emerging trends of the future.
For Andrea Sensoli, the essence of his work lies in its ability to encapsulate the diversity and authenticity of everyday life. "It’s real, multifaceted, tangible, and it engages the entire community," he shared. Reflecting on the early days of his career, Andrea admitted that the lack of resources and support posed significant challenges. However, he managed to navigate these obstacles by staying adaptable and focusing on incremental progress. When asked if he felt he had accomplished everything, Andrea responded thoughtfully: "Yes and no. While I’m deeply grateful for what I’ve achieved, I still have an unquenchable desire to push further. There’s always room for improvement, and I’m committed to making my vision stronger and more impactful."
"If I consider the creation of SUPERFUTUREDESIGN* as the most pivotal milestone, then we’re just scratching the surface. My ultimate goal is to solidify the office as an independent entity beyond my personal involvement. I want to communicate more of our vision through our designs and ensure they resonate far into the future," Andrea expressed with conviction.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of Andrea’s work is the sense of recognition it brings. "When our efforts are appreciated not only by clients but also by the broader public, it’s incredibly rewarding. Our innovative approach adds another layer of excitement," he explained. Beyond recognition, inspiring others to embrace new perspectives is central to Andrea’s philosophy. In every project, he challenges those involved to transcend their limits and arrive at fresh, groundbreaking ideas. Achieving such progress is not only gratifying for Andrea and his company but also for everyone connected to the project.
PROJECTS
When it comes to connecting with his audience, Andrea Sensoli prefers a persuasive yet engaging approach. "Meaningful messages and inherent beauty are key elements we strive for at every stage of our communication, whether it’s during a pre-qualification pitch or showcasing a concept on our social media platforms," he emphasized. Currently, Andrea is juggling multiple projects across various sectors, including residential, commercial, and hospitality. Inspiration strikes from life itself, and he finds immense excitement in the demands for "the next level." In his view, these requests compel him to analyze societal and cultural shifts and translate them into his work. "That exhilarating feeling of ‘if we want everything to remain, then everything must change’ drives me forward," Andrea noted.
"Minimalism remains popular, often enhanced with elegant touches and subtle decor. However, there’s still ample room for various decorative styles, even eclecticism and kitsch. I personally favor minimalism when it genuinely reflects a pursuit of authenticity and personality, aligning with the core principles of the project’s purpose."
Andrea describes his clients as individuals who recognize the value of design in achieving their goals. These are typically private companies, entrepreneurs, achievers, and visionaries with specific needs. They tend to be highly engaged throughout the process while remaining open to new possibilities. They appreciate what Andrea refers to as "meaningful beauty," which explains the diverse range of projects under their umbrella, from product design to homes, offices, stores, and resorts.
This particular project drew its inspiration directly from the site itself. The mission was to create a home that harmonized seamlessly with its natural surroundings while catering to modern living standards. Sustainability and simplicity were key considerations. Andrea’s favorite aspect of the design is the custom windows, which enhance the indoor-outdoor connection and symbolize the occupant’s relationship with nature. These windows are meticulously designed to offer unobstructed views while maintaining the integrity of the original farmhouse structure. Each window is a single opening, with its frame cleverly hidden within the wall.
In the future, Andrea hopes to collaborate with the owner of Villa Asciano, a renowned photographer whose work he admires. "I would love to imagine a day when we could work together on a personal exhibition. Together, we’ll push boundaries and create a complete visitor experience," he shared enthusiastically.
TO FINALISE
When it comes to craftsmanship, Andrea believes technology reigns supreme. While specialized firms—whether contractors or suppliers—are the experts in their fields, it’s the designer’s responsibility to explore innovative ways to integrate these technologies. Regarding the future of design, Andrea advocates for sustainability. "Carbon reduction must be taken seriously, and every aspect of a product’s lifecycle should be addressed. Changing our habits will require a revolution—not just in action but in mindset. While government policies play a role, individuals too can make better choices. Design plays a monumental part in this, and ultimately, design is everywhere."
