C'è qualcosa di più grande delle differenze tra noi due: la stessa
prospettiva
sul fare e pensare il design italiano.
There's something stronger than the differences between the two of us: the same
perspective
on making and thinking the Italian design.
The Studio
Il mondo del progetto indagato attraverso un approccio creativo in cui l’immaginazione conta quanto il rigore funzionale ed il controllo in tutte le fasi realizzative. Così dal 2006 Fabio Calvi e Paolo Brambilla lavorano insieme ad architetture d’interni (residenze private, uffici e negozi), allestimenti e design del prodotto.
In un panorama creativo in cui le tendenze portano all’uniformità del senso estetico, la personalità dello studio Calvi Brambilla si esprime sempre a sorpresa, ponendo al centro il racconto e comunicando con la massima efficacia i prodotti.
Dal 2019 Fabio Calvi e Paolo Brambilla sono stati nominati Design Curator di Flos, azienda di illuminazione di design. Dal 2023 ricoprono il ruolo di Art Director del brand storico Zanotta.
The world of the project is investigated through a creative approach in which imagination matters as much as the functional rigor and control in all the implementation phases. Since 2006, Fabio Calvi and Paolo Brambilla work together with interior architecture (private residences, offices and shops), setups and product design.
In a creative landscape where trends lead to the uniformity of the aesthetic sense, the personality of the Calvi Brambilla studio is always expressed by surprise, placing the client at the center of the story and communicating its products and history with maximum efficiency.
Since 2019 Fabio Calvi and Paolo Brambilla have been nominated Design Curator of the lighting company Flos. In 2023 they have been appointed Art Director of the historical brand Zanotta.
