Metamorphosis is the second volume of Materia Viva, our sustainable collection. Many objects today, including packaging, are made of plastic, but it is possible to give them a new perspective.
We enhance projects that want to be different, stand out, but still perform. We do this by elevating the potential of paper, the most silent and unexpressed ones; we develop creative and functional solutions, equivalent, in terms of design and use, to plastic products.

From food to cosmetics. From fashion to retail. From jewelry to luxury. From corporate to personal care. Paper can acquire characteristics that greatly expand its areas of application and use, thus promoting its metamorphosis throughout the world of packaging.
Our “Making Progress” approach drives us to seek cutting-edge solutions to improve the performance and aesthetics of our products. We innovate in the spirit of circularity, without compromising on quality.
We develop our products by thinking about how to valorize the creativity of students, young professionals and new generations. We are all increasingly attentive to the social and environmental impact of our actions, and forever on the lookout for new support and new stimuli that go beyond the ordinary.
