Marzio Rusconi Clerici

Born in Milan, Marzio Rusconi Clerici began his studies in graphic design at Atelier Albers Paris before graduating in Architecture from the Politecnico di Milano with Professor Franca Helg. After university he worked in London with colleague Laura Agnoletto, where together they designed various electronic objects, particularly radios and televisions. 
After returning to Milan in 1986 the two opened their "studio-lab" in the heart of the city, a space created for display as well as for the designing process.  Since then, they have participated in numerous expositions throughout Italy and abroad displaying their "oneoff" pieces which blur the line between provocative art and functional design. Side by side they have produced lamps and home furnishings for various companies, including Memphis, Nemo, Mastrangelo, FontanaArte, Pallucco, Zeus, Status, Slide, Glas, Martini, and Swatch.  Their 'Shakti' lamp design for Kundalini was selected for the "Compasso d'oro". 
Since 2008 he has been working with the historic store in Milan "Mimma Gini Tessuti", the setting of several chairs and lamps. The next opening will be in a similar space dedicated to design the new route comes from such collaborations in the store '.
