About Us

La Récréation, studio atelier for art, design, interior decoration and graphic design in Florence. La Récréation is a project by Piero Angelo Orecchioni and Jonathan Rosenfeld. “La Récréation” is intended as a rebirth or the importance of play, curiosity and the urgency of always considering change and a necessary recreation, which is why our works deal with different scales and different fields, from the art object to the architectural project. Contemporary projects that look towards a living present and a near future in which to find traces of a recent or distant past, with the intention of restoring renewed sap to memory through constant artistic research.
