The Semiotics of Space: Valentina Ciuffi on the Art of De-escalation and the Logic of Discovery - Friends of Friends / Freunde von Freunden (FvF)

Valentina Ciuffi is a Milan-based curator, entrepreneur, and semiotician whose practice is shaped as much by the logic of signs as by an acute sensitivity to space and encounter. As the founder of Studio Vedèt and co-founder of Alcova, she has transformed how the design world thinks about context, discovery, and the stories objects tell — always with an eye for the unpolished, the unexpected, and the quietly radical.
