Edoardo’s relationship with wood started early. Drawn to its texture, its scent, its potential.
Today, through MØCO, he transforms that instinct into objects shaped by time, patience and intention.
Can you introduce yourself and tell us how your journey with wood began?
My name is Edoardo, I’m 26 years old, and since I was a child I’ve always been drawn to wood — its scent, its grain, and its ability to transform under the hands of those who work with it. What started as simple curiosity gradually became a true passion, and eventually a dream: to restore value to craftsmanship and help people rediscover the beauty of handmade objects.
How did this passion evolve into something more serious?
It all began as a hobby, a few experiments, a few spare hours spent trying, failing, and learning. But every object I created left something inside me, a spark that pushed me to improve and explore new techniques. With patience and dedication, piece by piece, I built my small workshop: a place where creativity takes shape and time seems to slow down.
What does your daily routine look like today?
Today, I work during the day in a local company, and at night — or whenever I can carve out some time — I devote myself completely to my creations. In those hours, my mind is free and my hands tell stories, transforming raw blocks into unique objects.
What kind of pieces do you create?
My work ranges from woodturning to pyrography, including the creation of pens, vases, wooden portraits, and many other one-of-a-kind pieces born from a balance between technique and intuition. Every knot, every imperfection in the wood becomes part of the story — a mark of its history.
What drives your approach to craftsmanship?
What guides me is my love for this living material, for the slowness of the artisanal process, for that gesture that unites mind, heart, and hands. I believe that in an increasingly fast and digital world, there is still space — and a need — for objects that have a soul, that carry the warmth of human work.
What is the idea behind MØCO?
Through MØCO, I want to convey more than just wooden creations — I want to create tangible emotions. Small fragments of nature and authenticity that endure over time.
