Born from\u00a0Home\u2019Society<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0desire to explore all things interior design,\u00a0Design Talks<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0includes interviews with leading architects, interior designers, and showrooms to discover and discuss what\u2019s trending and the whole creative process of any project.\u00a0Carlo Donati<\/strong>\u00a0was the guest of the second edition of Design Talks. With an extensive curriculum and experience in several countries,\u00a0Carlo Donati Studio<\/strong>\u00a0is a reference in interior design, not only in Italy but also worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n See Also: Mirror: Indispensable Decorative Object in Your Bathroom and Closet<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The adaptation to the history,\u00a0style\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>and materials of each location is also a highlight of his work, as exemplified by his projects in the\u00a0Aeolian Islands<\/strong>,\u00a0Maldives<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Saint Moritz<\/strong>. As\u00a0Carlo Donati<\/strong>\u00a0states,\u00a0\u201ceach project has to be unique, we are focused on doing bespoke furniture and design unique pieces of furniture for every house\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch the rest of the\u00a0interview<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and discover the importance of\u00a0craftsmanship<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and how a store with a curated design can totally change the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ggpS0KlxH1c&list=PL5oj4yERzQEqmani8eCmrDTMAGyw6StHj<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlo has started his career by working for a couple of important firms in architecture in Milan, such as\u00a0Studio Berlgiojoso<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Studio Gregotti<\/strong>. He then moved to the United States and started working as an architecture consultant for\u00a0Gianni Versace<\/strong>. Although he refers to Versace style as pretty much different from his own, it was indeed a design reference due to its\u00a0boldness<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gio Ponti, Osvaldo Borsani, Franco Albini<\/strong>, \u00a0Italian design references of the post-war modernism, as well as\u00a0Mies van Der Rohe,<\/strong>\u00a0the abstract scenography by\u00a0Bob Wilson<\/strong>\u00a0and even the\u00a0interiors of movies<\/strong>\u00a0like the ones of\u00a0Stanley Kubrick<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Quentin Tarantino<\/strong>\u00a0are other of the multiple sources of\u00a0inspiration<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>expressed in Donati\u2019s design style, that he defines as\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201ccontemporary but with deep roots in the past\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The pool of\u00a0Nero Mediterraneo<\/strong>\u00a0and the entrance of\u00a0Loft A<\/strong>, some of his most recent projects, have\u00a0Kubrick<\/strong>\u00a0as the main reference, with\u00a0futuristic interiors<\/strong>\u00a0and a floating entrance with a flowy space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n After this experience in the USA, Carlo has proceeded to the creation of its own firm \u2013\u00a0Carlo Donati Studio<\/strong>, working as well for other brands like\u00a0Aldo Coppola, Liberty of London, Linea Pi\u00f9<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Colefax & Fowler<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n See Also: Bathroom ideas with Liquid interiors<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Attention to detail, a careful choice of\u00a0colors<\/strong>\u00a0and textures, and unexpected combinations are common threads the\u00a0Studio<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>uses throughout all its work. Projects with personality and that express the local style and materials are one of\u00a0Carlo Donati\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0specialities<\/p>\n\n\n\n An example of that may be found on a\u00a0resort of the Maldives islands,<\/strong>\u00a0where the roofs of the houses are in the shape of a sail and made of palm thatch or the use of black volcanic stone in a villa nearby the\u00a0Eolie Islands.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether it is\u00a0residential design<\/a><\/strong>, villa, or even commercial projects,\u00a0the\u00a0Studio<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>is regarded as one of the most renowned experts not only in Italy but also worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite this,\u00a0Carlo<\/strong>\u00a0does not hesitate to confess that if he could only do one kind of project until the end of his career, he would choose hotel and resorts, because of the possibility to design for multiple clients, encompassing different tastes and\u00a0styles<\/a><\/strong>, at a more balanced pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlo Donati Studio<\/strong>\u00a0is also responsible for the artistic direction of the\u00a0Slowear<\/strong>\u00a0fashion brand and is now developing the new retail concept and design of several stores and showrooms, in\u00a0Italy<\/strong>\u00a0and abroad, from\u00a0Tokyo<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0New York, London, Beirut<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Hong Kong<\/strong>. It aims to be much more than another store, but rather an experience of\u00a0<\/a>Italian lifestyle<\/a><\/strong>, where the client can take its time, breathe the atmosphere, listen to good music and have a glass of wine (Italian wine, of course) and eventually at the end buy some clothes. This is a philosophy that aims to changes fast fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Every project is unique and includes the design and production of bespoke furniture<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n In order to avoid standardization and assure that each project reflects a strong personality,\u00a0Carlo Donati<\/strong>\u00a0has created his own design furniture line.\u00a0Craftsmanship<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>is a keystone of this process.\u00a0Italy<\/strong>\u00a0presents a well-known tradition of craftsmanship, with some of the best artists of the world, ready to tackle challenging\u00a0projects<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>and to deal with different materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlo<\/strong>\u00a0refers as well the expertise of\u00a0Portuguese artisans<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and highlights some of the\u00a0Home\u2019s Society<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0products he believes to be a good match for the\u00a0Studios\u2019s Style<\/strong>, such as\u00a0LURAY side table<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0KOI rug<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0GOBI rug<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0MURSI rug<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to\u00a0favourite trends<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Carlo<\/strong>\u00a0refers that after many years of\u00a0minimalism<\/strong>\u00a0and now as a decade of\u00a0maximalism<\/strong>, also because of the COVID and all this period we are passing through now, people are now in need of spaces that can be more fluid and flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just to conclude the interview,\u00a0Carlo Donati<\/strong>\u00a0has left an advice to all designers:\u00a0being curious about the world, open-minded and courageous to try things.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n See Also: Freestanding Bathtub: Luxury Bathroom Ideas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n What did you think about this article on Carlo Donati: How Bathroom Design Becomes Inspiring<\/span><\/em><\/strong>?<\/em><\/strong><\/span> Stay updated with the best news about trends, interior design tips, and furniture luxury brands.Follow us on Pinterest<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Linkedin<\/a> for more inspirations! <\/p>\n\n\n\nDESIGN TALKS INTERVIEWS CARLO DONATI STUDIO \u2013 AN ITALIAN DESIGNER STRIVING FOR THE UTMOST PERFECTION<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
