Debonademeo

designer

Founded by Luca De Bona and Dario De Meo, with offices in Padua and Milan, Studio Debonademeo has established itself as one of the most exciting firms in contemporary Italian design. Moving seamlessly between architecture, product design, interior design, exhibition design, graphics, and art direction, the studio develops projects that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, creating a design language in which objects, spaces, and visual identities become part of a single narrative.

Central to the studio's design philosophy is the desire to transcend the traditional relationship between form and function, imbuing each project with strong expressive and emotional value. Debonademeo's work spans both the micro and macro scales, reinterpreting architecture, design, graphics, and art through a multidisciplinary approach that transforms products and environments into experiences capable of telling stories and creating authentic connections with people. The studio's design manifesto, here and now, encapsulates this vision: a method that intertwines memory and contemporaneity, translating cultural references, materials, and influences into projects with a contemporary and recognizable language. Rather than seeking a unique style, Studio Debonademeo creates objects with a strong narrative identity.

Over the years, the studio has collaborated with numerous Italian and international companies in the furniture, lighting, and interior design sectors, developing products, installations, and art direction projects that reflect a comprehensive and transversal design vision. The ability to move between different disciplines is a distinctive feature of their work, always oriented towards research, innovation, and the construction of strong and recognizable design identities.

The collaboration with Vistosi stems from a shared design vision centered on simplicity, research, and experimentation. This dialogue gave rise to Tier, a collection that transforms two elementary geometric shapes—the line and the circle—into a versatile lighting system, capable of generating ever-changing compositions on walls and ceilings. Inspired by the spontaneity of design, Tier interprets light as an architectural sign, in which the purity of geometry meets the quality of Murano blown glass, giving rise to a collection that engages with space through balance, compositional freedom, and visual lightness.

Today, Studio Debonademeo continues to develop a design approach free from disciplinary boundaries, in which architecture, design, and communication converge in a single creative process. Constant research combines design culture, experimentation, and contemporary sensibility, giving life to timeless objects and spaces capable of establishing an authentic dialogue between materials, light, and people.
