Gino Carollo

Gino Carollo was born in Vicenza in 1965 and started his industrial design career in 1990. He initially gained recognition by designing the Italian Pavilion for major international fairs in Cologne and Vienna in the early '90s.

In 1999, he established his own studio to bridge the gap between creative design and technical industrialization. His style is defined by a "relaxed Italian" feel—blending clean, purist lines with functional elegance. His work has been so influential that pieces have been displayed at the MoMA in New York.

Over the years, he has partnered with elite brands like Bonaldo, Cattelan Italia, Porada, and Draenert. His designs, such as the Fontana table and the Bookless system, have earned him the Red Dot "Best of Best," IF Design, and German Design Awards. Today, he continues to operate internationally with offices in Italy and Shanghai, while also serving as Art Director for Ronda Design.
