Collection: Paolo Lomazzi

Paolo Lomazzi’s collaboration with Jonathan De Pas and Donato D’Urbino began in 1966. In the 60s and 70s, they developed a particular interest in creating furniture and temporary architecture using industrially advanced materials and technology. They designed and built a series of pneumatic structures for the Italian Pavilion at the World Exposition in Osaka, for the XIV Triennale of Milan, and for Eurodomus. In 1967, they designed an inflatable armchair called Blow and have since been working in the industrial design field.

They planned and built industrial and residential buildings and expanded their focus to various areas of industrial products: home and office equipment, lighting, electronics, bathroom fixtures, etc. Their designs have been produced by well-known companies such as: Acerbis, Alessi, Artemide, BBB Bonacina, Bellato-Pallucco, Bonacina Pierantonio, Bonaldo, Cassina-Marcatre, Driade, De Padova, Giannini, Lualdi Porte, Lumina Italia, MDF Italia, Naos, Valli & Valli, Poltronova, Quattrocchio, Robots, Scavolini, Stilnovo, Tonelli, Zanotta, Zerodisegno, Roset, Koizumi, and Santa&Cole.

Jonathan De Pas passed away in 1991. D’Urbino and Lomazzi continued to work together until 2017. Now they pursue their activities independently. Paolo Lomazzi's design work has been combined with teaching at the Faculty of Design at the Politecnico of Milan from 2001 to 2007, at IUAV of Venice from 2005 to 2010, and at ISAI of Vicenza from 2010 to 2015. In 2018, he received the ADI Compasso d’Oro Career award.
