Gabriele Pezzini

Gabriele Pezzini, born in Charleroi (Belgium) in 1963, his artistic education, the Art Institute and then the ISIA (Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche) in Florence, constantly bring him towards experimentation. He is interested in issues regarding industrialization, and in 1991 is among the members of the international designers’ team in the French company Allibert, where he works and becomes a manager until 1997. In 1999 he opens his own studio in Milan, goes back to research projects, and for several years conceives and organizes exhibitions that allow him to elaborate on his analyses and theories on perception and cross-contamination of daily-life objects. He collaborates with Italian and international companies and has taught in several universities. Since 2008 he is director of Design for maison Hermès.
