Designers A—Z
Andrea Anastasio
After studying philosophy, he conducted research on the
innovation of traditional craftsmanship techniques,
collaborating with architecture practices, publishing houses
and museums. He has been the director of the Italian
Embassy Cultural Centre in New Delhi since 2023.
Fascinated by the poetics of art and its convergences with
design, he designs furniture and objects in a cross-conta-
mination of languages and meanings. He designed Filo,
Madre, Gioia, and curated the Battiti project in partnership
with ‘Ceramica Gatti’ in Faenza in 2022. From that research
project, Intervallo and Fregio lamps were born.
atelier oï
A Swiss studio consisting of Aurel Aebi, Armand Louis
and Patrick Reymond. From the onset, they have aimed
at breaking down the barriers between the various
spheres of design and at emphasising the cross-conta-
mination possibilities of the various disciplines, ranging
from architecture, to interiors, product design and also
stage design. A multi-disciplinary approach, experimen-
tation and a close relationship with the material form
the core values of their creative philosophy, which has
been rewarded with a host of accolades. They are
behind the design of Allegro, Allegretto.
A German architect, whose creations span the entire
spectrum of experimental and artistic approaches,
including industrial design and architecture. He has
contributed towards the introduction of new materials and
techniques in the world of product design, for which he
has received numerous awards. Some of his works are
part of the permanent collections of many international
museums, such as the MoMA and the Metropolitan
Museum in New York and the Neue Sammlung Museum in
Munich. He has received the Compasso d’Oro honourable
mention for the Behive lamp.
