It is the passion for objects as industrial products the glue of the professional partnership between the two, who are founders of the Designstudio with the same name from 1989. Alfredo Chiaramonte and Marco Marin teached at the European Center for preservation of the architectural heritage in Venice. Through the years, they also received many recognitions and some of their works have been exposed in the permanent collections of international museums, like Museo Correr in Venice, Beaubourg in Paris, MOMA in S. Francisco and Venice Biennale.
