Giulio Iacchetti

Italian designer Giulio Iacchetti has been designing since 1992. He alternates this activity with teaching at many universities and schools of design in Italy and abroad. The distinctive characteristics of his work are research and definition of new object typologies, like the Moscardino, the multiuse biodegradable utensil for which, in 2001, together with Matteo Ragni, he won the Compasso dOro, with the object becoming part of the permanent design collection of MoMA New York. Some of his other notable designs include the Magneto Floor Lamp from Foscarini and the Uselen and Pes paper knives for Alessi.
