DESIGNERS

Testatonda is a design group now based in Turin, but with multiple influences in its deepest identity: Rome, Milan, Barcelona are the social and cultural metropolitan scenarios of a training and work path in continuous evolution. The group formed by Nicolò Corigliano, Matteo Minello and Valter Cagna draw inspiration from the intuitiveness of elegance and the plurality of its shapes, identifying the criteria of any possible beauty in gaps and uneven details. A kaleidoscope of experiences that converges in the choice of the location: a real laboratory, once a carpentry shop, today a huge creative space that allows them to explore the design intervention in complete freedom and create prototypes to be optimized together and then concretized in an accurate self-production. The name, Testatonda, is inspired by the round-headed nail, an element of conjunction between the world of iron and that of wood, a perfect synthesis of the different souls that make up the group, whose members possess transversal skills ranging from architecture to design, up to anthropology and sociology. A union not only between heterogeneous materials but also between unique individualities defined by specific training and professional paths.
