NAVA+AROSIO Design Studio

Paolo Emanuele Nava (1989) and Luca Maria Arosio (1988) are NAVA+NAVA Design Studio. The Italian designer duo is based in a large house-studio-laboratory from the early 1900s. They began their work at the start of their university studies at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) in Milan. In 2012, they both earned honors degrees in Product Design, presenting a project called "Maniacal Mirrors." Working on various projects for prestigious companies like Rubelli, Lago, Riva1920, and in collaboration with Paolo Nava Design Studio, they started to explore humanistic design, meaning a design where the person is the center, with their material and immaterial needs.

In 2014, they established NAVA+NAVA Design Studio, collaborating with Jonathan Nava, the Shanghai contact point, and Alexander Nava, the Hamburg contact point. The studio has received prestigious international awards, and their projects are featured in the most important industry publications. Research and experimentation drive their ideas; a unique sensibility accompanies the aesthetics and design lines of their work, a design that does not confine itself to precise formal rules but aims to be a journey, always different, to explore the fullest expression of all composite elements.
