Drywall Collection brings together the work of Claudio Larcher and Sofia D’Andrea, and it’s a project born from what we usually don’t see in design. Metal profiles made for drywall—technical components that typically disappear inside the wall—become the starting point for a collection that flips their function and pulls them to the surface. The project takes shape from this very tension: making the invisible visible, turning anonymous industrial parts into design objects with a sharp, essential character.

The visual language of the collection is direct and consistent: clean lines and metal surfaces that preserve a certain industrial rawness. Seating, lamps, vases, and decorative elements all share the same constructive DNA, as if they belonged to a single building system reassembled for the domestic sphere. The repetition of the drywall profile isn’t just a formal choice, but a design principle that generates rhythm, uniformity, and recognizability.

Drywall Collection works along the boundary between architecture and design, appropriating materials born for construction and reinterpreting them as objects for living. In this shift, a broader reflection opens up on the value of leftovers and the aesthetic potential of industrial materials, often confined to a purely technical role. Here, metal isn’t concealed or softened—it’s allowed to speak through its original function, transformed into a deliberate design gesture.

The result is a collection that isn’t chasing decoration for its own sake, but a structural, almost systemic kind of beauty. Objects that look like parts of a building taken apart and recomposed, able to bring into the home an imaginary tied to the construction site, to building, to serial repetition. Drywall Collection moves between design and architecture, showing how even what was meant to stay hidden can become the protagonist—if observed from a different perspective.
