AMDL Circle

Background

AMDL CIRCLE is a multidisciplinary studio headquartered in Milan and led by Michele De Lucchi. Its own website describes a studio built on 40 years of work on iconic projects, and GUBI says it was founded in Milan by De Lucchi. Wikipedia gives De Lucchi's birth as 8 November 1951 in Ferrara and his degree as an architecture graduate of Florence.

Signature Style

GUBI describes a humanistic and exploratory approach that holds design should serve and elevate the human experience, with practice spanning architecture, interior design, product design and graphics. The studio lets disciplines influence one another, so that a structural detail may shape a chair or a facade rhythm a fabric pattern.

Notable Works

• Gallerie d'Italia in Turin, which won the Premio Architetto Italiano 2025
• The Nordic Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka
• The Bistra Collection for GUBI, the studio's first work in rattan
• Product work for Artemide, Cassina, Alessi, Poltrona Frau and Hermès, per GUBI

Legacy

GUBI says the studio's research in interiors and office design has spearheaded technical and aesthetic innovations in the 21st-century workspace. Wikipedia describes De Lucchi's earlier part in the Cavart, Studio Alchimia and Memphis movements and his years as Director of Design at Olivetti, from 1988 to 2002.
