Zanellato/Bortotto

Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto founded their agency in 2013 in Treviso after graduating from IUAV University in Venice and completing a master's degree in product design at ECAL in Switzerland. Giorgia worked at Fabrica, a design research center, while Daniele collaborated with Swiss designer Adrien Rovero. They presented their first joint project, Acqua Alta, in Milan and began their research on the relationship between place and time through the reinterpretation of traditional craft techniques.
Both product designers and artistic directors, the duo collaborates with Italian and international companies. Their work is exhibited in several galleries and institutions such as MAXXI in Rome, the Triennale Design Museum, the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan, Sommerset House and the Aram Gallery in London.
