Strato

His background is linear and traditional for people who aim to become an architect: he attended the Institute of Art in Cantù and he got his diploma. He started soon a collaboration with a design studio near where he lived. This working experience lasted ten years. In 1989, at the age of 31 years old, he opened his own studio. “I consider my job as a continuous challenge. Whether with myself or with the company who places the order. The blank sheet is an enemy to pull down every time: you always need to raise a new idea or an original line to draw an item in an elegant way. Thinking to particular shapes or strange forms is not enough. I have to pay a strong attention to materials”.
