PLISSÉ

Alfredo Chiaramonte was born in Bologna in 1961 and studied at the University of Venice's Faculty of Architecture. Marco Marin was born in Venice in 1964 and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, specializing in industrial design. In 1989, Alfredo Chiaramonte and Marco Marin began their professional partnership, founding the eponymous Designstudio. They both share a passion for objects, understood as industrial products. Their professional interests span various design fields—interior, graphic, industrial, and lighting design—fostering a continuous exchange of experiences and skills developed over time. This cross-disciplinary collaboration provides fertile ground for innovative ideas, solutions, and approaches. For example, a long-standing collaboration with the glassmakers on the island of Murano has allowed them to bridge two seemingly disparate sectors, creating lines of blown glass objects, glasses, and lamps for leading companies. They have collaborated with companies in the furniture and publishing sectors including Andromeda International, Axo Light, Artificia, Bonaldo, Calligaris, Cattelan Italia, Emu group, Eurobags, Estasis, Fornasarig, Gruppo editoriale Gemina, Hoffman Italia, Miniforms, Moulinex, NasonMoretti, Renault Italia, Sica.
