Message by Designer & C.E.O. Mitzi Bollani
A smile or a spoken word switches on the spark for a new creation. My work tries to achieve for each product the highest level of ergonomics, safety, ease of use and cleaning, in the right balance with the emotion, so that my intially experienced sensation will be imprinted in my design remaining alive over time, so it might be felt by other people, giving them a positive feeling of well-being.
I am an architect and sculptor, when I create an object these two worlds always merge together. Both professions have improved my intuitiveness and my ability to listen and talk through tactile and visual emotions. I love looking for innovative, useful and appealing objects to improve people’s individual and social living environment.
My creations have rounded, enveloping and reassuring shapes: those sinuous curves attract and invite people to use them. I love working on my Curvy Design. Which is my motto? “Stir up emotions!” and that of my company Leura s.r.l. is: “Helpful Design”.

Friendly Design at the Maternity Ward
Immediately after birth, mother and baby benefit from their particular hormonal situation, which encourages their mutual recognition and their falling in love. The baby is catapulted into a new world and his mother’s proximity guarantees his better adaptation to life. For this reason, the latest hospital practices require that immediately after delivery, the infant is kept in the mother’s room and stays with her all the day. That practice, called rooming-in, prevents postpartum depression (Puerperal Blues) and helps the maternal milk production.
The MaBim cot designed by Mitzi Bollani allows the effective face-to-face contact between mother and baby for a safe co-sleeping, without the risk for the infant to be crushed. Mother can take her baby in her arms without getting out of her bed: it is a great advantage for women who had a C-section, a long labor or an epidural anaesthesia.
The maternal milk production increases thanks to the maternal bonding. Immediately after birth the baby is ready to suckle and his mother needs a comfortable position to learn how to feed him. MimmaMà®, designed by Mitzi Bollani, is the unique breastfeeding chair which avoids postural and postpartum pains. MimmaMà® offers an excellent support to mothers and baby in every breastfeeding positions: it assures a correct attachment of the baby to the nipple, avoiding the annoying fissures, and the possibility of changing the breastfeeding positions, avoiding mastitis too.
