Stefano P.

Was born in Verbania in 1985. In 2006, he moved to Milan where he studied design at the European Institute of Design (IED). He received his degree in industrial design in 2009 with a thesis project for “JBL Italia” in collaboration with “Kenwood Electronics Italia S.p.A” under the supervision of the professor and designer Marco Maggioni. Afterwards, he started to work as a trainee for “Alessi S.p.A.” in Crusinallo, Omegna where he observed the re-engineering of the tea set “tea & coffee Piazza” designed by Michael Graves and participated in the development of a concept corner design by Stefano Giovannoni. In 2010, he moved back to Milan with the intention to capitalize on his experience and began a collaboration with the designer Miriam Mirri. With her, he developed a series of lamps, including “Clover” for “BYSTEEL” (for the 2011 furniture exposition in Milan, Salone del Mobile), and produced concepts for various brands including, among others, “ALESSI S.p.A.”, “UNITED PETS” and “WHIRLPOOL Europe S.r.l.” by way of sketching, 3D modeling and rendering. Since 2014 he has been assisting the art director Roberto Di Stefano in his collaboration with Ritzwell&co. Presently, he works as a freelancer and collaborates with different architecture firms.
