About the Artist
Salicornia Studio, founded by designer Federico Rizzo in 2023, is a design hub focused on product innovation and material research. Combining craft and digital tools, the studio creates objects that merge cultural heritage with contemporary design. Conceived for design research and experimentation, the studio explores the intersections between product design, material culture, and ecological imagination.
Projects
Rooted in the traditions of Southern Italy, yet shaped by an international practice, Salicornia develops objects, environments, and performative experiences that reframe our relationship with food, habitats, and interdipendence with nature. In May 2026 Federico took part in Mediamatic's opening of Rites of Play - an evening where reflection and experiment were welcome, marking the beginning of a new programme inspired by the reverence of monastery living. Through his project, Multispecies Tasting, Federico created an edible landscape inspired from the endangered southern Italian mediterranean coasts.
