Collection: Chiaramonte Marin

The passion for objects conceived as industrial products is the bond of the professional partnership between Alfredo Chiaramonte and Marco Marin, promoting partners of the homonymous Designstudio. The different activities experienced over the years (interiors, graphics, industrial and lighting design) led to a mixed knowledge, enriched by ideas developed in many fields. The long-term working experience with the glass factories of Murano allowed blending two seemingly different industries, with the creation of a range of glassware blown by Nasonmoretti for Emugroup, respectively leading firms in Murano glass and outdoor furniture.

Alfredo Chiaramonte was born in Bologna in 1961 and studied at the Faculty of Architecture of Venice. Marco Marin was born in Venice in 1964 and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts specializing in industrial design. They worked together with well-known companies such as Miniforms, Emu Group, Bonaldo, Vistosi, Nasonmoretti, Andromeda International, Hoffman Italia, Renault Italia, Moulinex, Artificia, Gemina Publishing Group. They taught at the European Center for the preservation of architectural heritage in Venice. Over the years, they received many recognitions, and some of their works have been exhibited in the permanent collections of International Museums, like Museo Correr in Venice, Beaubourg in Paris, MoMA in San Francisco, and the Venice Biennale when they worked with Yoko Ono.
