In 2009, Marco Maturo and Alessio Roscini founded Studio Klass, an industrial design agency based in Milan. The studio operates in several areas, from furniture to product design. Their mission is to create innovative solutions for the functionality of a product and the way it is used via colors and choice of materials.
“Nowadays, we are all surrounded by high-tech devices. They give us what we need but in a cold way. We think contemporary design should take the emotional aspect of a product during its usage into account. Products should help us to better consider our daily routines, like for example preparing breakfast or lighting a candle for a romantic dinner. In our opinion, that helps us connect to design and to the things we surround ourselves with”.
Over the years, has worked with a number of renowned Italian and international companies, including FontanaArte, Mercedes Benz, Pimar, Azzurra Cermica, and many more. Products designed by Studio Klass have appeared at many design fairs and events in Milan, Paris, and New York.
Both Marco and Alessio are professors at Europeo di Design of Milan.
