Designer Interview

14 April 2014

We study architecture and we always loved art and design

boattiverga studio was founded in 2010 by Manuela Verga and Paolo Boatti after a collaboration
with Marcio Kogan, a world-famous Brazilian architect. The hybridisation between restyled objects and new materials, the contamination of their traditional usage with a new, contemporary perspective, and clean, sharp shapes are the keystone of all boattiverga projects.

Design is creativity, research and happiness but also practicality and functionality

Everyday objects

Mezzadro by Achille e Piergiacomo Castiglioni, inspirational leaders of the most authentic Italian design

We never designed for a company

Wood and glass

In the summer time!

Good proportions

Happiness

Good vibrations

Aesthetics and functionality

Recycling and reinterpretation are the key concepts that give birth to an exclusive design item

Prostheses and Innesti presented at the London Design Festival 2012 at the Gallery Fumi in London and Porto Cervo. The next exhibition will be in autumn in New York.

We live in Italy and we are proud to be influenced by historical and modern beauty

We never worked with companies, but we would like to star a collaboration.

Mezzadro by Achille e Giacomo Castiglioni, Plastic Chair by Charles and Ray Eames, Bowl Chair by Lina Bo Bardi, Falkland light by Bruno Munari, Tavolo con route by Gae Aulenti

Tenacity and immagination

Our international experiences, in Brasil and Palestine.

We are two architects and we work together
