Sand & Birch Design Studio was founded in 2003 when Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro decided to join their different cultural backgrounds and experiences together for a unique project: to re-interpret the concept of furnishing and to bring other meanings, other senses and other lives to Objects. They participated in different national and international contests such as NuoviSegni (Il Sole 24 Ore) with a design of a multifunctional centre for suburbs, the Mitsubishi contest with the design of a concept car and the Nespresso contest with the design of a coffee stick. In the field of food design they have created products that are still in progress.
Their next project is a sustainable-energy-supplying concept house.

Now, presenting LU:
LU evokes organic forms, primitive and ancestral shapes, but, at the same time, it is elegant and precious. A lively tension goes through it and bends it in a tonic muscular action. LU is an unusual seat, with a metallic structure, polyurethane inside, covered with Alcantara.
