About this product
Architonic ID: 20739054
Year of Launch: 2022
Taking the indoors out is always full of compromises. For many, design comes second to convenience, for others it's the other way around. For Gino Carollo, compromise has never been an option. The exterior should always have the same level of style and comfort as what we produce for the interior. Inspired by a connection with nature, Santos uses strong geometric lines which, by intertwining and overlapping, create a dynamic shape. Through the use of resistant materials, treated to be protected all year round, functionality is a priority, but it never overshadows the strong design that unites the desire between indoor and outdoor space. One glance at this design is enough to mistakenly think that this is a piece of furniture suitable for any interior space. Yet that is precisely the point, isn't it? Why should the outside be less pleasant when, in fact, it's quite the opposite.
Concept
Designed by Gino Carollo, Santos is a sofa that uses strong geometric lines and is made of durable materials suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The frame is made of solid iroko wood, and upholstery is also available in a draining version.

Gino Carollo
Italy
Born in Vicenza, he began his career in the field of Industrial Design in 1990, also working as an art director with prestigious Italian and international companies in the furniture sector. He was commissioned by Assarredo to design the setup and coordinated image for the Italy Pavilion at the International Furniture Fair in Cologne in 1992 and 1993, and also in 1992, the Italian Pavilion at the Interieur fair in Vienna. In 1993, he took part in the Dirattan exhibition in Milan and in 1994 in the "Progetti e Territori" exhibition at the Abitare il Tempo fair in Verona. Some of his products have been exhibited at the MoMA in New York. During the same years, he received the Du Pont award in Cologne, the Young Design award in Milan, and the Casaidea award in Rome. In 2012, he won the Interior Innovation Award in Cologne for the "Bookless" product by Interlübke. In 1999, he founded Studio28 Gino Carollo with the goal of creating a qualified team to support companies in the industry. Product design, combined with engineering and the creation of models and prototypes, proved to be key tools that enabled the studio to achieve concrete results over the years and to establish long-term collaborations. In recent years, Studio28’s industrial design activity has expanded with the addition of new areas of expertise, particularly in the field of architectural design for exhibition spaces, showrooms, and corporate identity.
