Ivo Pellegri
Ivo Pellegri (link) was born and bred near Milan (in Guissano, to be precise). After graduating in architecture, his career got off to a good start: Pelligri immediately started working for renowned Italian companies like Effebiquattro, Tiemme and Bontempi, designing door handles, chairs, windows, lamps and furniture.
Pellegri’s designs (link) are characterized by a kind of minimalistic elegance (or elegant minimalism), as exemplified by his ‘Milano’ door handle . (link)
Maurizio Duranti
Maurizio Duranti (link) hails from Firenze, but moved to Genoa for college, and then to Milan to further his career. Starting off as a lecturer, Duranti quickly switched to architecture and industrial design.
His award-winning designs (link), which are frequently featured in prestigious museums, are never without irony. Duranti’s ‘Odessa’ door handle (link) makes this abundantly clear.
Giacomo Giustizieri
The Tuscan designer Giacomo Giustizieri considers himself a ‘creative workman’. He likes all kinds of art forms – from literature and photography over painting to music – and has a lot of technical knowhow.
Giustizieri has worked with various companies like Philips, Osram and Piaggio. In addition, he is one of the top designers at Frascio (link), the well-known Italian design studio for which he came up with the innovative ‘Join’ door handle (link).
