Pio and Tito Toso are brothers and designers from Venice. They both graduated from Architecture at the University Institute of Architecture of Venice in 1998.
“Luckily we are quite different, each with his own perspective, focus, and sensitivity. The union of diverse characters produces a fertile ground to develop our projects, ” they explain.
In 1996, Pio and Tito founded PIO&TITOTOSO, an international design and architecture firm that has collaborated with some of Europe’s top design companies, including Artemide, Foscarini, Venini, Vistosi, Leucos, Alessi, Pedrali, Segis, Fratelli Guzzini, Colombo design, Metalco, Rossi di Albizzate, Frighetto, Fly Line for furniture. The studio also design stands, exhibitions, shops, offices, graphics, and warehouses for various companies.
“We believe that, basically, a company promotes and produces culture through its products, which, in order to create culture, must have a strong ethical and not only aesthetical content, ” the brothers explain. “We also believe culture and passion should permeate products in the simplest and most readable way. ”
Pio and Tito have received several honors such as a Design Plus Award in 2016, Red Dot Design Awards in 2012 and 2015, a Good Design Award in 2009, and an I. Dot selection in 2006 and 2007.
