PLAY WITH FIRE // Carving as Authorship - Press Preview
We warmly invite you to an exclusive Press Preview by Moroso and RUG STAR on 17 September 2026.
Meet the design duo Zanellato/Bortotto in person and discover “Play with Fire” – an exceptional new product collection developed for Moroso, bringing together material, design and a spirit of experimentation.
At the same time, RUG STAR will offer a first look at its new collection “Carving as Authorship”. A tool traditionally associated with craftsmanship takes centre stage in the design process: scissors become a design tool, and carving itself becomes a distinctive creative signature.

We look forward to welcoming you to this exclusive preview.
Moroso, together with the design duo Zanellato/Bortotto, will exclusively present “Play with Fire” – an extraordinary new product collection that will be unveiled as part of the event.
At the same time, we will celebrate the launch of the new RUG STAR collection “Carving as Authorship”. For the first time, the design process does not begin with a visual motif: instead, the scissors themselves become the design tool, turning the act of carving into a distinctive creative signature.
In conversation with J. Dahlmanns, you will gain insights into the concept behind the collection and its creative development process.
