Adriano Piazzesi

Designer, painter and sculptor, Adriano Piazzesi (1923 – 2009) approaches projects in the light of the relationship between the object and its user. His work is not a tool for him, but rather an integral part of marketing and production, into which he can pour his artistic sensibility and attitude. Piazzesi has been active since the sixties: he studied architecture, from which he acquired the taste for designing the structures underlying surfaces, yet his interests have never been limited solely to the professional aspect of a designer. Adriano Piazzesi could have easily chosen another path; writer, poet, painter or even performer. He would have been brilliant, exceptional, at all of these by the way. Because Adriano is something different, like Arketipo he has found that his craft can work in unison with the ethos of Arketipo.
