Dialogue between different languages and cultures. Stefano Sandona's creations are products of the elements of contemporary culture: graphism, the digital world, continuous motion. Inspiration drawn from travel, architecture and landscapes translate into sinuous objects, intense colours and sensory bias.
Born in 1974, later undergoing an artistic education, he gained significant experience working with professional design firms and manufactures of furniture. His approach is practical and direct, skills acquired in the entrepreneurial Italian North East, developing elaborate and dynamic products compatible with the client and the market.
In 2006 he founded STEFANO SANDONA DESIGN. It's activities range from industrial design to product consulting and production, focusing especially in the field of furniture.

In just a few years he has received numerous awards, as the GOOD DESIGN of Chicago Athenaeum, IF design of Hannover, RED DOT of Essen, just to mention the most important.

His works be present in museum and exhibition.
