Giulio Iacchetti
Giulio Lacchetti, an industrial designer since 1992, designs for many brands including Abet Laminati, Alessi, Artemide, Ceramiche Refin, Danese, Fontana Arte, Foscarini, Magis, Moleskine, and Pandora design. The distinctive characteristics of his work are the research and definition of new object typologies, like the Moscardino, the biodegradable spoon/fork designed with Matteo Ragni, and for which, in 2001, he was awarded with Compasso d’Oro.
In 2009 he was awarded the prize for innovation – Premio dei Premi – by the President of the Italian Republic for the Coop Eureka project, which brought the design into the large-scale retail trade. In May 2009 the Triennale di Milano held a solo exhibition entitled “Giulio Iacchetti. Disobedient objects “. In November 2012 he launched Internoitaliano, the “factory network” made up of many craftsmen labs with whom he signs and produces furniture and accessories inspired by the Italian way of living. He had also pursued his personal research project into new design topics such as the symbol of the cross from which came the exhibition titled Cruciale held by the Diocesan Museum, Basilica di Santo Stefano Rotondo in Rome, and by Castello di Lombardia in Enna, Sicily.
In 2014, he won his second Compasso d’Oro for the design of the manhole covers Sfera, designed with Matteo Ragni for Montini.
