Mammini Candido Design is an ongoing design collaboration between Letizia Mammini and Valeria Candido. Their designs were recently featured in Masiero’s Eclettica collection.
Letizia was born in 1973 in Faenza, Italy. She first became interested in lighting during her degree in Industrial Design. Since 1996, she has designed lighting fixtures, and held several conferences about light in universities across Europe. She also works as a lighting designer for theatrical shows and other events.
Valeria Candido was born in Pordenone, Italy in 1973. Her degree in communication design was complemented by a keen interest in visual art, advertising, graphics, and photography. She has been working with graphics for major Italian companies for more than 10 years.
Before working under the title Mammini Candido Design, the duo founded Lo Studio — a design firm in Faenza located in an 18th century villa immersed in nature. Lo Studio was guided by passion for “lighting, designing, colouring, planning, loving, living, thinking, savouring, dreaming, creating, selling, communicating, and signing. ”
