Collection: Adrien Rovero

Born in 1981 in Switzerland, Adrien Rovero, already the holder of a CFC in interior design and a Bachelor in industrial design, received his Master diploma in industrial design in 2006 from the Ecole Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne, ECAL (where he is now teaching) and opened Adrien Rovero Studio the same year.
Since then, he has had a dual activity of research and industrial production by associating the market and institutional context.
Exhibited in galleries like Kreo (Paris), Libby Sellers (London), gallery Ormond (Geneva) and working for institutions like Grand Hornu (Belgium), le 104 (Paris), Villa Noailles (F) and collaborating with established brands like Hermès,… He works for international design companies like Droog Design (NL), Dim (D) & Campeggi (IT).
His work is based on a precise observation of elementary needs, where everything is an excuse for speculations, with hypotheses and imagination. With strong details, he brings together use, commonplace and extraordinary, offering unexpected solutions that are simple and relevant.
Mentioned in the international press, Adrien Rovero has been awarded a number of prizes including the D&AD Nesta Product Innovation Awards for 2003 and 2004, the jury prize at the Villa Noailles in France (2006) and the Swiss federal prize in 2007.
His work has been collected by public collections of the Musée National d’Art Moderne/Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), the Grand Hornu (B) and the Mudac (Lausanne).
