Practice

Pellegrino works takes place in the space where design loses certainty and art acquires constraints.

It works with materials as unstable systems rather than finished surfaces.
Industrial processes are treated as frameworks to be stressed, bent, and negotiated, allowing form to emerge through pressure, error, and resistance.

Objects are not conceived as solutions, but as provisional states — suspended between use and meaning,
function and narrative.

Work Principles

Material as agent

Materials actively participate in the outcome. Their limits, failures, and reactions shape the work as much as any initial intention.



Process before typology

Projects do not begin from predefined categories. Function may remain secondary, ambiguous, or unresolved when necessary.



Controlled instability

Precision and unpredictability coexist. Control is partial and constantly renegotiated throughout the making process.

“Prototyping is not just a testing phase,
but a form of thinking”
