Cesare Monti

Cesare Monti is an Italian architect and designer. He graduated in Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Turin, where he was also a contract professor for three years, teaching a design course based on grid shells and spatial structures. Before graduating, he won the competition for the new Autogrill with members of the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, proposing a bold wing-structure suspended by cables. After an early collaboration with the RFR Studio in Paris (Peter Rice & Ian Ritchie Studio), he started his own practice in Turin, working both in architecture and design.

Among his projects are the main entrance of the Sporting Club Montecarlo (2001), the Reflex Headquarters in Treviso (2003) and Showroom in Milan (2006), the Belmonte Headquarters in Montpellier (2007), and the Chopard private museum stairs in Geneva (2009). With the carbon fiber chair SHELL, he won the international Catas award in 2006, while in 2008 he was a finalist for the Compasso d’Oro Award for the TENSYON glazing components. In 2011, he also won the competition for the Torre Littoria refurbishment in Turin. He is currently designing for Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, the Austrian company Austroflamm, and for Italian and foreign companies.
