Where and how did Corners begin?

Corners wasn’t born in a boardroom or as part of a business plan. It started quietly, almost privately. After years of working behind the scenes as a designer and art director for some of the leading names in fashion and interior design, I felt the need to create something more personal. Something that could live beyond trends and speak directly to people.

What inspired you to create Corners?

I’ve always had a special relationship with art. Since I was a child, I’ve been an observer — curious about how materials react to touch, how light transforms colors, how shapes can hold emotion. After so many years in the industry, I wanted to go back to that curiosity and turn it into a project that would celebrate beauty, stories, and authenticity.

What makes Corners different from other art print shops?

The intention behind it. Corners isn’t just about selling prints — it’s about telling stories. It’s about giving space to artists and building a connection between the creator and the person who brings that artwork into their home. Here, nothing is mass-produced. Every piece is carefully selected after hours of research, conversations, and collaboration with artists from around the world. We want every artwork to have a soul and to bring something meaningful into each space.

How do you select the artworks you offer?

From our small studio in Milan, our team spends hours researching new trends, discovering new talents, and curating pieces that can inspire, move, or simply bring a space to life. For us, it’s not only about aesthetics — it’s about authenticity, about finding different ways of seeing the world and sharing them.

What about the quality of your products?

Quality is essential. We use only the finest materials and the best printing techniques available. We want every artwork to be more than just something beautiful — we want it to last, to become part of people’s daily lives.

What do you hope to share through Corners?

That art isn’t something distant or reserved for a few. Art can make the world softer, warmer, more human. If Corners can help do that — even if it’s just one wall at a time — then it will have done what it was meant to do.
