He designs objects for well-known companies and realises architectural projects in Italy and around the world: from industrial buildings to cultural centres. Since 2004, he has been sculpting wooden models to seek the essentiality of architectural form and provide a source of inspiration for professional projects. His professional work has always gone hand in hand with constant personal research related to "the themes of design, technology and craftsmanship", so much so that in 1990 he created Produzione Privata.

Produzione Privata was established in 1990 to give continuity to Michele’s Memphis Group experience and, above all, to design and produce experimental objects, free of commission, with the utmost freedom of expression. Art is the form of expression that most inspires us because of its power to provoke and stimulate reflection, its power to give soul and meaning to the places it inhabits. The objects, the art, are independent of the logic of the market and industry and originate from the savoir-faire with the hands typical of artisan crafts. The art is shaped by the hand’s needs and their analisis humanity’s most urgent longings. Many of Produzione Privata's objects guard a story that has its references in literature, contemporary art and the observation of nature.
