12 Tales With Little Houses is a quiet invitation into the mind of Michele De Lucchi, where architecture, time and the hand-made meet.
Part book, part meditation, it presents twelve small wooden houses carved with a chainsaw and twelve reflections on the daily tension between making, ageing and meaning. Wood, with its grain, resistance and unpredictability, becomes both material and metaphor, recording time as skin does and asking the maker to respond rather than control.
Each house is paired with a thoughtful essay that explores space, light, habit and consciousness, revealing a slower, more human side of one of Italy’s most influential architects. Introduced by Marco Pogliani with a note by Francesco Dal Co, this is a book for those who love design not just as form, but as a way of thinking and living.
