Massimo Bonetti, Turin 1949, Giuseppe Manente, Mestre (Ve) 1947, Abramo Mion, Mirano (Ven) 1951, after separate working experience with industrial concerns, academic institutions and as free-lance operators, founded Kairos in 1980, which principally operates in the field of industrial design. Kairos in Classic Greek means the right point, the right place, the right degree. In ancient Greece, it was also a concept that defined a way of operating or designing. Kairos was, for example, the choice of the right place to build a house and, at the same time, the time one had to wait until the right moment to begin construction. This balance combination of place and time is intended to apply to every new Kairos project.
