ANGELETTI RUZZA
Silvana Angeletti and Daniele Ruzza design essential objects, capable of existing over time and able to enter into a relationship with environments and people. They have been industrial designers since 1994, when Guzzini put their Zazà coffee maker into production, still in the catalog.
They have collaborated with numerous Italian industrial realities in the furniture, lighting, furnishing accessories, household appliances and bathroom furniture sectors, pushing contamination and experimentation in different areas. But always within a dialogue with the interlocutors of the project. The aesthetics of their products comes from the synthesis of function, attention to detail and knowledge of production techniques.
This concrete approach to design was the basis of teaching the Industrial Design courses of the University of Ascoli Piceno (from 2012 to 2014) and of the IED of Rome (from 2010 to 2018).
Angeletti and Ruzza have been artistic directors of various companies. Today by Bottega Intreccio, Kalon and Globo. They have been able to push companies out of their "comfort zone", understanding their identity and production know-how, promoting new types of products and research ideas on materials, techniques and, more generally, life needs.
Some of their products are part of the permanent collection of the Chicago Athenaeum Museum. And many others have been awarded the most important international design awards. Awards that have accredited product innovation, but also the ability to design in areas such as graphics or set-ups.
