A rigorous project path, declined in the various thematic areas, with sobriety and measure, constantly contributing to the enrichment of the culture of Italian design ".

Carlo Bartoli He declares: “I like to design products that last over the years, not intrusive and that give the feeling of having always been where you place them, but nevertheless provoke the imagination. My effort is to design stimulating objects and avoid banality, at the same time objects of common use that become part of the everyday landscape in a non-overwhelming way, to give psychological well-being and comfort. For this reason I orient the design language towards a balance, trying to transfer cultural values ​​to the product, respect for the dignity of tradition and technological innovations when they bring benefit to the product. The Studio is like a Renaissance workshop: we are between five and ten people; we discuss, criticize or disassemble ideas during the design process. We are looking for long-lasting products - the most important quality for us - which we normally refine with a gradual process and through a continuous dialogue with companies ".
