Marco Merendi & Diego Vencato

Marco Merendi and Diego Vencato met at Artemide, where Marco was in charge of the artistic direction and Diego was the head of the Special Project Development section. They work individually and together they carry out the research work which, often, can give life to common projects. Their investigation on materials and technologies is constantly evolving, between craftsmanship and industry, between tradition and contemporaneity. For them, the relationship between the project and the human being is fundamental.
