Biography
Background
Valerio Sommella graduated in Design at Politecnico Milano and began his career at major design studios between Milan and Amsterdam. He founded his own studio in 2009, and Valerio Sommella Studio is an industrial and product design studio in Milan.
Signature Style
Sommella treats each project as an opportunity to express his idea of design by exploring the language of objects through formal, material and technological research. The studio works on furniture, lighting, consumer electronics, tableware and limited edition objects.
Notable Works
- Portofino portable table lamp and Sorrento wireless portable lamp for Nemo Lighting
- Bibo, Boga and Brigata kitchen and tabletop pieces for Alessi
- Alba, Materia and Vetra cooker hoods for Falmec
- Fur Rugs for Moooi and Esplanade teak outdoor furniture for DWR
Legacy
His client list includes Alessi, Falmec, Nemo Lighting, Penta, Apple, Moooi, Cantarutti, Ethimo and 4Mariani. In his view light has immense power, it can make the ugly beautiful and vice versa, and designing the objects that convey it is a great privilege.
