TEAM
My passion is the Industrial Design, I deal with innovation projects related to product, interior and design strategy. My goal is to find new ways of using materials, concepts and products giving a “twist” to their normal uses, finding solutions in line with the current industrial background. In my projects there is always an emotional component linked mainly to the territory and its people.
I love innovation and sustainability, within 20 years of experience as CEO of various companies and after selling the shares of my previous start-up, I decided to undertake a new challenge at the helm of Lebiu to offer the market a series of textile products with excellent physical characteristics and with a high content of bio-based ingredients, designed to respect the environment and reduce harmful emissions deriving from textile production and leather tanning.
