AMÉLIE COLLECTION
ITALO PERTIChINI was born in Switzerland and
he moved to Italy to complete his artistic, technical
and aesthetic education: this double soul influenc-
es entirely his design activities. Indeed, its philos-
ophy is to create objects that have simple shapes
and have a strong functionality. Pertichini says:
"What is beautiful does not always work and what
works is not beautiful. Beautiful and useful may
seem reductive... but has always been the essence
of Design". In 2001 he opened his own design
studio in Milan: he deals with industrial design and
interior design.
