Richard A. Ceccanti

Born: 1981

Hometown: Milan

Based in: Milan

Italian from a British background, Richard studied in London and then worked as an architect and designer in Beijing, Rabat, Sevilla and Paris.
He finally settled down in Milan, where he runs a creative studio focusing on architecture, interiors and objects. His work centres around scarcity and ingenuity. Beyond the minimalist aesthetics lies a research for the essence of form and function, the will to find new paradigms for everyday objects that often leads beyond the object itself.
