DESIGNERS
Quaglio Simonelli
Quaglio Simonelli is the
creation of two dynamic
talents Andrea Quaglio
and Manuela Simonelli
, both graduates of the
Università del Progetto, in
Reggio Emilia. Their studio
is based in Paris. After
their debut and and their
two years collaboration
with Philippe Starck,
they founded their own
design studio dedicated
to provide design services
to several sectors of the
marketplace, beliving
that diversity is a source
of creative richness.
They design technology
products, create furniture
and decorative objects,
conceive the visual
identity and product
design for beauty brands,
alternating industrial
logic and artisanal
approach. The result of
the meeting between
two complementary
sensibilities has been
nourished by their history,
by their creative gaze
they direct on the world
that surrounds them
and by the mutation
they love to induce
on it. In this way, they
design objects that look
familiar, yet contaminated
with unexpected and
poetic elements. They
have received several
international awards for
their designs: Red Dot
Product Design Award IF
Product Design Award
CES Innovation Award
HKDA Award, Kapok Prize
Étoile de l’Observeur
Janus de l’Industrie
Several products they
designed are now part
of the collection of the
National Foundation for
Contemporary Art at the
Centre Georges Pompidou,
Paris.
