Roberto Paoli

ith a degree in architecture from the University of Florence in 1994, Roberto Paoli immediately began working in small-scale design, specializing in plastic and glass injection-molding techniques. Building on this experience, he collaborated with brands such as Fellowes and Fiamitalia.

In this way, Roberto Paoli acquired technical and methodological knowledge, which helped him to shape his own idea of design: he believes that functionality and technology should merge with the form of objects, which is always influenced by materials.
His studio is based in Milan and deals with both products and architecture, development projects for the home, boutiques and showrooms, as well as exhibitions and stands. Roberto Paoli is also a creator and curator of design exhibitions and cultural events.

In recent years, several of Roberto Paoli's projects for leading Italian brands have attracted considerable international media interest.

In 2010, Freskogel, a set of Technogel® laptop bases designed for Tucano, was included in the ADI Design Index 2009 as a candidate for the Compasso d'Oro award.

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, it won the GOOD DESIGN AWARD three times.
