angelettiruzza design

With an ethical design vision, comprehensible and close to people, Silvana Angeletti and Daniele Ruzza design essential objects capable of enduring over time. They seek harmony and beauty that emerge from the effective management of the production process and in response to societal changes and ways of living.

After graduating in Industrial Design, they choose to live in Rieti, far from design capitals, to maintain a more authentic vision of the profession, which must confront complex issues: from functional and technological aspects to economic ones, from social changes to new user needs.

ANGELETTI RUZZA have collaborated and continue to collaborate with numerous industrial realities such as: Cristina, Alivar, Bottega Intreccio, DAA, Emu, Sitzone, Sitland, Fiam, My Home, Roche Bobois, Poltrona Frau, Oluce, Colombo Design, Faber, Hotpoint/Indesit Company, Irsap, Teuco, Azzurra Ceramica, Flaminia, F.lli Fantini, Globo, Graff, Guzzini, Yaaz... creating essential and functional products. Far from the coldness of minimalism, their objects seek simplicity and authenticity expressed through expressive, soft, and pure forms.

The diversity of production sectors and product scales, from industrial production in large numbers to small-batch artisanal objects, as well as the exploration of heterogeneous techniques and materials, have allowed them to bring cross-pollination and experimentation to various industry domains. But always within a dialogue with project stakeholders. ANGELETTI RUZZA demonstrate a traditional approach to design. The product is born through continuous dialogue with the company, as a union of skills and specific objectives. With selected realities, with which they share a vision, they build relationships of trust and mutual respect, earned and confirmed over time.

From 2002 to 2006, they were artistic directors of GSI Ceramica, from 2007 to 2014 of Azzurra, from 2015 to 2018 of Brilliant and My Home Collection, from 2016/2017 of KALON and GLOBO, and from 2018 of YAAZ, Alivar Group and Bottega Intreccio. A role as art director that brings them even closer to companies with greater responsibilities, as a convergence figure among different professions that invest and engage in the enterprise.
