Kama Allegro con Brio Sabbia Lunare

Deanna Comellini spent her formative years in the artistic environment of Bologna during the 70’s following art studies (DAMS). In 1974, she entered the world of design, starting to work for the Bolognese company CASTELLI. Her first collection of décor complements was presented by Maddalena Da Padova in the historic Space of Corso Venezia, Milan in 1977, the year in which Deanna founded the company G.T.DESIGN, for which she is designer and art director. Initially she worked on materials and shapes with high technological results, but her projectual research would transform into a productive philosophy. During the 80’s, the will to discover, explore, and salvage traditional techniques of various international cultures brought her to think and work on a concept of “imperfect design”. Her curiosity, free from boundaries, has led to the creation of an encounter between artisanal knowledge and project culture. Her emphasis on hand-made, natural materials, colour and elementary forms, led to her creating a new genre in the 90s, reinventing the presence of textiles in interior design. Today her project research focuses on the contemporary carpet, intended as an essential element of interior architecture and design.
