A French citizen, born in Austria and Italian by action, one of the first graduates of the "Esthétique Industrielle" course at ENSAD in Paris, Marc Sadler was a pioneer in the experimentation of materials and the contamination between different technologies, which became distinctive aspects of his activity as an industrial designer. In the early 1970s, he developed the first ski boot made of entirely recyclable thermoplastic material, later industrialized by the Italian company Caber. This marks the origin of his specialization in sports design, leading him to collaborate with the most important multinationals in the sector worldwide.
Coming from a branch of industry where research and experimentation of new materials and production processes are the order of the day, he was able to transfer knowledge to worlds where the concept of design was traditionally confined to aesthetic form. Four-time winner of the Compasso d'Oro award, in addition to receiving four Honorable Mentions from ADI – Association for Industrial Design, he has obtained numerous important international recognitions over the years. His back protector, designed for Dainese, is part of the permanent design collection of MoMA in New York, while the Mite by Foscarini is part of the design collection of the Beaubourg in Paris.
Today he is recognized as an eclectic designer, capable of combining style, functionality, and competitiveness, at the service of companies in various industrial sectors facing an increasingly complex global market.
