Paolo D'Arrigo is an Italian designer born in Rome in 1967, who considers design to be an alchemy between nature and high technology.
For him, form is not an aesthetic invention, but the result of a process that transcends the physical constraints of materials.
He explores wood, metal, glass, ceramics, and other materials, letting their characteristics guide the creation of objects.
His work ranges from objects to furniture to complete artistic direction projects.
D'Arrigo is very active in design associations: he has chaired the ADI Lazio delegation and the In Forma Azione association.
He teaches industrial design at La Sapienza University and other prestigious schools in Rome.
His work has earned him numerous awards, including the German Design Award, several ADI Design Index awards, the European Product Design Award, and the IDA Design Award.
He collaborates with international brands to design innovative products that combine aesthetics and functionality.
D'Arrigo takes a cross-disciplinary approach to design, investing his energy in design as well as communication, stands, and exhibitions.
His work focuses on the relationship between people, materials, and the world of the finished product.
He is interested in domestic objects as well as lighting and contemporary furniture projects.
