After art studies, Luca Casini graduated in architecture in 1996 and started his own product design firm in Milano in 1997. Luca Casini has received various design awards and has collaborated with leading italian and international companies in a multiplicity of different fields. He has developed projects ranging from fashion accessories, to home complements, furniture and consumer products, from mass to luxury items. A unique background of experiences has contributed to form his particular language and sensibility in the contemporary design contest. Attributes that have been translated in a linear but also eclectic approach, with design expressions adherent to the complexity of our times of which, they are reflections and reading keys at the same time. The particular care for shapes, harmony and balance as well as the overall elegant style, can be assumed as the minimum common denominators of his works, which are often recognized as eternal classics. His prevalent minimalist style enriched by fine connotative accents and his “logic” compositions, has been integrated in the last years with more elaborate and communicative design expressions and with some conceptual works. Dopo gli studi in ambito artistico, Luca Casini si è laureato in Architettura nel 1996 e ha fondato il suo studio di design a Milano nel 1997. Successivamente ha ricevuto importanti riconoscimenti internazionali e ha collaborato con molteplici aziende di rilievo in Italia e prevalentemente con importanti gruppi industriali all'estero, operando come designer in settori molto diversi fra loro. Ha sviluppato progetti nell'ambito degli accessori moda e per la casa, disegnando mobili e prodotti di consumo di ogni genere, spaziando dai prodotti di massa a quelli di lusso. Un background singolare che ha certamente influenzato la sua sensibilità nella percezione della nostra attualità e del contesto contemporaneo nell’ambito del design. Il suo linguaggio espressivo è lineare ma anche eclettico, aderente alla complessità del nostro momento storico di cui è riflesso e al contempo chiave di lettura. La costante cura nell'eleganza del segno e nell'armonia delle forme, restano un minimo comune denominatore del suo lavoro. Dallo sviluppo prevalente di un minimalismo arricchito da accenti caratterizzanti o da una composizione essenzialmente "logica", il suo percorso si è evoluto verso una ricerca formale più elaborata e comunicativa fino ad integrare il suo lavoro con alcune espressioni più prossime alla sfera concettuale.

It is known that product design artifacts imply an intrinsic functionality; we cannot define furniture design as pure "fine art", but it is certainly an interesting "artistic" field for both creators and users, and tuning to a freer project approach contest could implement the range of possible expressions in this discipline. I have always been curious about innovation and about taste evolution, always interested to new aesthetic rules to be discovered and in general intrigued by the secrets of "actraction" as well as by our sensibility to perception of proportions. I was always fascinated by pure minimalist shapes and by rational project approaches and interested by the other side to the communicative power of visual expressions. It is along this path that I am going to start this furniture mini collection, alternating conceptual pieces with other simple geometrical composition studies, with a range of products that could be more adherent to my personality and to my eclectic charachter. A new small section of my work in which I can be free to mix and evolve some personal experiences without too many limitations, materializing thoughts, visions, emotions, or just compositions of materials and structures with objects that are time by time differently balanced for cognitive and physical functionality... a further step in my design research.
