Metrica Design Studio
Robin Hapelt
International classics with an elegant twist
Designer of Flows
The Milanese design studio Metrica, headed by Lucio Quinzio
Leonelli and Robin Rizzini, brings a touch of Italian flair to Manutti.
Internationally acclaimed for its exclusive mixture of creation
and technical management, the studio’s designs are elegant and
meticulously crafted. The collaboration with Manutti resulted in the
Flows collection, a balancing act between traditional aesthetics and a
unique, elegant shape.
Playful design from the heart
Designer of Sandua
For the Swiss-German designer, Robin Hapelt (1990), great design doesn’t
just have to look good, it should also make people happy. That’s why
all of his pieces exude contrast and humour. Hapelt is now residing in
Southeast Asia, which he calls “a very exciting and inspiring part of the
world.” Much of his work reflects the Asian culture, particularly his use
of Oriental weaving techniques and materials like rattan and bamboo. He
makes his debut designing for Manutti with the ethnic-inspired Sandua
collection, for which he spent many hours experimenting himself with
different weaving patterns and techniques.
