About The Designer

Born in 1967, Carlo Colombo graduated in 1993 with a degree in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan. From that point forward, Colombo’s work in the design field has resulted in various projects that grew out of partnerships with leading furniture manufacturers. In 2004, Colombo was named designer of the year and, in the years that followed, received prestigious awards. In addition to furniture and design products, Colombo also worked as a consultant and artistic director, providing companies with corporate strategy and marketing, producing graphic designs and curating exhibits. Furniture companies were among the first clients for his home design projects but soon they also engaged him to design the display spaces for furniture exhibits, sales and production. Initially focused on interior design and planning, Colombo’s activity gradually expanded into the construction sector in Italy and abroad. Today, the studio is engaged in large-scale projects from interior design to architectural projects around the world.
