Quaglio Simonelli

Quaglio Simonelli was born from the meeting of Andrea Quaglio and Manuela Simonelli, both graduated of the University of Reggio Emilia Project, with study based in Paris. After their debut and their two year collaboration with Philippe Starck, they founded their own design studio, developing an activity that extends to several fields of creation. They design technological products, create lamps, furniture and decorative objects conceive the visual identity and product design for beauty brands, alternating industrial logic and artisanal approach. Their creations feed on their history, the 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 received several international awards for their design (Red Dot Product Design Award, IF Product Design Award...). However, several of their products are now part of the collection of the National Contemporary Art Fund of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
