"Meeting Matteo, over 10 years ago in Hoxton Square has led me to develop a genuine respect and curiosity about his work and approach. I was excited and apprehensive when I decided to write his story. Such a responsibility. This book is not simply about Matteo's transformation from Marketing to the world of Interior Design over the past decade, but more about what inspires and drives someone and how they get through it.

"From nothing, Matteo has created a design studio with a reputation for elegance, quality and quirkiness. I feel lucky to have been allowed such unlimited access, which has brought me closer to Matteo. I hope what I have discovered keeps you turning the pages, as I know that there is a lot more to come. Have a look for yourself."
