"I like tables because i think they are, for some reasons, the closest thing to architecture" Italian-british designer, he was born in Genoa in 1973. Following a consistent experience in Antonio Citterio’s office in Milan, he opens his first studio in 2006. After a few years he’s co-founder and design partner of Metrica in Milan. In 2019, he’s back as an independent industrial designer. He worked and collaborated with many companies in Italy and abroad, designing furniture for the residential, contract and office market.

Bruno Fattorini was born in Domodossola in 1939. He studied economics. In 1992 he took over the company MDF and immediately started to implement an innovative and dynamic business and product strategy. At present President at MDF Italia, he is the designer and art director around which the company’s research and its cultural and aesthetic philosophy revolve. The determined choice to orientate developments towards precise life styles is a leitmotiv of the MDF Italia collection, reinforcing its strong identity: a minimalism which seems to be addition more than subtraction, a quest for new spaces for what is new though respecting the past and the extreme simplicity of shapes. In a short time, an important collection of bookshelves, furniture, tables, beds, sofas and complementary items was in production arising a great interest from the very beginning. “Evidence” of the creative maturity and intelligent curiosity underlying research activities, and of the aesthetic purity in design, is particularly visible in some of his most successful products:, the Lim table, the Home Desk, the Aluminium Beds, the Alu Cabinets, the Allen sofa e the Minima shelving system. Indeed, Minima obtained a “special mention” in the Compasso D’Oro ADI Competition in 1998.
