PATRICK MORODER – MORODERDESIGN

Born in 1965 in Val Gardena and raised in a renowned family of sculptors, Patrick Moroder’s creative talent was evident early on. In 1982, he obtains the master craftsman certificate at the art academy in Ortisei and graduates in applied arts, as well as from the vocational school in Bolzano in the furniture sector. After the specialisation in product design at the IED in Milan, he acquires valuable experience in the design studio Matteo Thun & Partners. As a co-founder of MM Design Bolzano, he develops, among other things, the Attac carabiner. In 1998, he teaches at ADB Bolzano and founds MoroderDesign, which has been managing product, corporate and interior design projects for its clients for decades.

CRISTIAN DAL BIANCO

Graduated in 2001 from the Italian Design School of Padua, I immediately began to collaborate with Italian design studios as a designer in the furniture sector, developing products for national and international companies, designing showrooms and exhibition installations for the same. As a project manager I collaborate for the creation of custom furnishings in the contract retail and hotel sectors. There are many inspirations that lead us to the definition of an idea and the creation of new projects, science, history, art and daily experiences; the right alchemy comes from the ability to dose these ingredients with sensitivity.

LUIGI SIARD

Industrial designer since 1994, the year in which he designed the city bike chosen for the Airton Senna Foundation line for Carraro and began his activity as a designer at the Greggio Argenti Group. Between 1995 and 2014 he held the role of product manager at Deroma Vasi and followed the development of all his projects from the idea to the creation of the mold including logistical problems, specializing as an industrial designer. As a designer he collaborates with various companies including Margraf, Lapitec, Epoca and Veca for which he also industrialises products by other architects and designers.During his years of activity he has acted as a lecturer at the ISIA in Faenza and has held lessons at some design and economics faculties to deal with the relationship between design and logistics and the production of industrial silverware.

MATTEO LEORATO

Matteo Leorato was born in Verona, and from the Veneto, he brings with him an attitude toward practical knowledge that leads to design intuition, refined by an international perspective developed through his extensive experience abroad. Matteo Leorato’s work focuses on the desire to develop objects in equilibrium between harmony and curiosity: clear, balanced proportions, brought to life by a tension evocative of other forms or functions. Human interactions are added to these elements as a key aspect of contemporary design, as the designer himself tells us: “I usually find myself far from the concept of a statue-like kind of object, but I love those products which are animated through the gestural expressiveness of the people who bring them to life: the wind-up watch is undoubtedly the object which best reflects this philosophy.”
