ORA ITO

designer10What is a “virtual designer”? Ora Ito is the  brand name of the designer Ito Morabito,born in 1977 in Marseille, France.  He got kicked out of design school after only  a year and took matters into his own hands – first by working for an architect and then for the shoe designer Roger Vivier. He was only 21 when he  decided to create fake products for real brands. He designed ‘ads’ for a Louis Vuitton bag and a camouflage-patterned carrying case for a Mac laptop and launched them on the  internet… as if they really existed. Pretty soon the big brands discovered his abuse of their name… and they loved it. This collection of  imaginary items was viewed around the world and so emerged the very first virtual label. In contemporary Paris, he spends his days in his studio creating real products for an impressive range of clients. and now for Paco Jaanson bathroom…..

PAU ROVIRAS & CARLOS TORRENTE

designer6Pau Roviras and Carlos Torrente distinguish  themselves  in the industrial design world by their practical and common  sense creations. Their many works with  baths, particularly for the German company Duravit,  the Spanish company Altro and the urban project for Santa  Cole, confirm their belief that a minimum of parts equals maximum functionality. Based on  this premise, their designs for Supergrif’s d38 implement this equation and create products of authentic quality.

The young Italian designer Simone Valsecchi draws attention by his plain and different style in his Eleganza, a synthesis of classical breezes and modern lines, the Valente vitrified series, which impress by their simplicity, and the Diamante washbasin designs, inspired by the sharp lines of the diamond.

TOYO ITO

Kolajlar2It is difficult to associate the architect  Toyo Ito to a specific trend, always observing the world for different ideas, his obsession for lightness and his fascination for the organic world has been transmitted to the bathroom. Toyo Ito has designed for Altro a complete bathroom collection that is based on the flowing of water. The collections main element is a top made by Corian®  of which the washbasin has the natural form of the erosion of water just like the sand at the sea.The tap is the element that transports water  to fading concepts are used, which is something that Toyo Ito incorporates frequently in architecture. The bathroom accessories and illumination allows us to travel to the geometric  and cosmopolitan world. That urban and advanced touch, gives every day elements the required utility in the bathroom. “The difference that existed between interior and exterior architecture of  the 20th century is disappearing. There should be no limits as the buildings should be part of the ambience which in turn should penetrate into the buildings”  Toyo Ito.

VENEZIANO & TEAM

veneziano-team Veneziano+Team design studio was created in 2008 after the meeting between Gianni Veneziano and Luciana Di Virgilio. A team of creative professionals and ‘conceptual thinkers’ with specific and complementary skills composes the studio. They interact throughout different design processes, such as restructuring, interior, industrial, graphic, exhibition and management design. The studio explores several fields of design, aiming to reach final solutions of strong emotional impact. Particular focus is devoted to integrated communication, in a unique process that includes creativity, passion, technology and strategic thinking. The philosophy of the studio assigns to the concept of ‘function’ the responsibility of defining shapes and structures, in a simple and intuitive way: maintaining a highly artistic approach, open to experimentation and contamination in a mix between experience and innovation. The work of the studio has been published on some of the most important design magazines and during local and international exhibitions. Moreover, the role of curators of exhibitions is to be highlighted, such as ‘Il Segno dei Designer’ (‘The Sign of Designers’) for Triennale Design Museum in Milan. Gianni Veneziano donated those works to Triennale museum, so that they have become part of its permanent collection.
