Designer Interview
17 April 2014
I have always wished to be a designer. I have studied product design oriented fashion at the Politecnico of Milan; after I attended a Master in lighting design in the same institute.
Design is a field of knowledge that may improve the quality of human life and elevate the beauty of the places to a superior level.
My favorite design is the Sushi armchair by Carlo Colombo for Zanotta.

Expectations...
Satisfaction.
Funtionality
The means of communication has a great impact and responsibility on society. Industrialization without criteria has responsibility on environment. The designer can make a sense of change.
Nature of things
My design style is a marriage between essentiality and symbolism. For example, the shape of the circle is abundant in my job because it is simple and it expresses an energetic field.
I live in Italy, therefore the Italian cultural heritage has been very important in my formation. One should be able to create a good design anywhere.
I develop my design in my mind during some days, after I elaborate the project on my computer and I make some changes.
Nessino Artemide, Castore Artemide, Edge Artemide, Amami Danese, Cubo Danese.
I myself am a young designer.
The positive and negative aspect of being a designer is being an artist.
Essentiality
A Mac, or two are better. Adobe master collection, 3d model softwares, pencil and paper.
Time is like a fluid flowing, you can only stay inside it.
I think that one cannot specify an exact time to design an object of design. It may take a few years as a few days, I reckon that experience has a key role.
I prefer to design lamps because light has a fundamental role in furnishing an environment.
