Favaretto&Partners Curiosity, unrelenting passion for research and exemplary rigour in design have characterised Favaretto&Partners’ work in industrial design and architectural planning for over 30 years. Founded in 1973 as Studio Favaretto, it developed, from the early 80s, a long and fruitful experience working alongside Italian and foreign companies. The practice has consolidated lasting relationships by following the full development process of most projects with a number of prestigious businesses including: Atlantis (Portugal), Strafor-Steelcase (France), Bif (Korea), Teknion (Canada). Haworth (Germany, Portugal,USA), Estel, Castelli, Destro, and Doimo(Italy). From 2006 Paolo Favaretto can rely on a young team of associates including Giuseppe Brigato and his son Francesco who, after his degree in Industrial Design from Iuav and a number of experiences in different product areas in Italy and abroad (in Toronto alongside Conrad Marini, president of the CMM Design Associates) has decided to pursue a career in product design. Favaretto&Partners’ unique style is founded on the innovative use of materials, painstaking precision in design and a penchant for stylistic and functional inventiveness. The technical competencies gleaned over decades and the ever-present passion for experimentation have enabled the practice to work successfully and with versatility in different manufacturing sectors, from telephones to furnishings (seating, lighting) to medical and household objects.
