The bright side represents what we show to the world—our conscious self, joy, clarity—while the dark side symbolizes what remains hidden: our subconscious, fears, and secrets.
One side is familiar and visible; the other, mysterious and concealed.
The illuminated side reflects structure, logic, and what can be grasped, while the hidden side embodies mystery, emotion, and the irrational.
Together, both sides form the whole moon—just as with humans.
In literature and poetry, the “dark side of the moon” is often used as a metaphor for the unconscious mind, repressed emotions, or hidden truths—while the “bright side” is the face we choose to show.
Pink Floyd chose the title The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) very deliberately—not to point at astronomy, but to use it as a symbol of the unseen struggles and shadows of human life and consciousness.
All this crossed my mind when we first crossed paths with Massimo Sabbadin.
We met on one of our trips exploring hidden gems. A big, stylish man with an even bigger, dark yet bright smile.
For Massimo, style is not a superficial layer but a language—one that tells stories of heritage, creativity, and the courage to be unique.
Every one of his projects reflected his personal philosophy: that beauty should be lived, not just observed.
With an extraordinary eye for detail, Massimo creates pieces and experiences that speak to individuality, sophistication, and the art of self-expression. Artistry and inspiration.
Whether working on a design, curating an experience, or sharing his knowledge, Massimo approaches every endeavor with authenticity and respect.
In the era of f*ckin' fast fashion, he reminds us that true style is not only about refinement, but also about character—and mostly about the stories that unfold through unique designs.
Massimo Sabbadin embodies authentic rock elegance.
His vision proves to us that true style is not only seen, but deeply felt.
For me, the dark yet bright “smile” is the most authentic and true smile we can share with one another. As Massimo shares with us.
The dark side will always be there—so brightly embrace it.
