People You Meet is a project born from a collaboration between Milan-based illustrator Margherita Caspani and Federico Porta, a luthier from Varese.
In partnership with FuoriSalone 2023 and Interni Magazine, the project was exhibited at the IED House in Via Amatore Sciesa 14 during Milan Design Week 2023.

The goal was to merge design, illustration, and lutherie in the creation of a series of musical instruments called Kalimba.
Each instrument is alive, unique, and breathes with a voice of its own, just like people.
The parallel between music and voice led us to capture these personalities in wood, crafting instruments with human-like features that reflect each one’s individual identity.
