I’ve worked on material design and innovation for more than 25 years, developing projects for several major brands in various industries.
My organisation
Materially S.r.l. Impresa Sociale – short: Materially – is an independent Italian SME that helps companies in the development and diffusion of sustainable innovation starting from materials. Materially operates with a design-oriented approach and attention to the issues of Circular Economy and intelligent innovation thanks to a broad background of international projects and experiences. In particular, Materially acts as a generator of links and contacts between producers of innovative and sustainable materials, as well as emerging material and processing technologies, and their potential users, be they companies or freelance professionals. Materially intervenes in this relationship by developing consulting projects where innovation starts from the material and is realised through design. Materially also supports manufacturers through the promotion and dissemination of their innovative solutions via tailor made events, exhibitions and knowledge & technology transfer activities among diversified stakeholder groups belonging to educational institutions, public bodies, enterprises, end-users and civil society.
