Exclusive Interview with Carlo Donati<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Carlo Donati<\/strong>\u00a0was the guest of the second edition of Design Talks<\/strong>. With an extensive curriculum and experience in several countries,\u00a0Carlo Donati Studio<\/strong>\u00a0is a reference in interior design, not only in Italy<\/a> <\/strong>but also worldwide. His inspirations range from\u00a0architectural landmarks<\/strong>\u00a0and Italian design references of post-war modernism, and abstract scenography and the world of cinema. The combination of these multiple sources of ideas in the creation of surprising projects, full of personality and bold design, is proof of his mastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclusive Interview with Carlo Donati<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carlo Donati<\/strong> has started his career by working for a couple of important firms in architecture in Milan<\/a><\/strong>, such as\u00a0Studio Berlgiojoso<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Studio Gregotti<\/strong>. He then moved to the United States<\/strong> and started working as an architecture consultant for\u00a0Gianni Versace<\/strong>. Although he refers to Versace style as pretty much different from his own, it was indeed a design reference due to its\u00a0boldness<\/strong>\u00a0and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this experience in the USA<\/strong>, Carlo Donati<\/strong> has proceeded to the creation of his own firm \u2013\u00a0Carlo Donati Studio<\/strong>, working as well for other brands like\u00a0Aldo Coppola, Liberty of London, Linea Pi\u00f9<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Colefax & Fowler<\/strong>. Attention to detail, a careful choice of\u00a0colours<\/strong>\u00a0and textures and unexpected combinations are common thread the\u00a0Studio<\/strong>\u00a0uses throughout all its work. Projects with personality and that express the local style and materials are one of\u00a0Carlo Donati\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0specialities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it is\u00a0residential design, villa, or even commercial projects,\u00a0the\u00a0Studio<\/strong>\u00a0is regarded as one of the most renowned experts in Italy and worldwide. Despite this,\u00a0Carlo Donati<\/strong>\u00a0does not hesitate to confess that if he could only do one kind of project until the end of his career, he would choose hotel and resorts, because of the possibility to design for multiple clients, encompassing different tastes and\u00a0styles<\/strong>, at a more balanced pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
