We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Pierangelo Brandolisio about their original and creative Luxury Furniture design work. Pierangelo Brandolisio is an award-winning product designer, that makes our world a better place with their original luxury furniture works.
Pierangelo Brandolisio ("PB") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Pet Home Collection Luxury Furniture. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
PB : An idea that comes from the purchase of my first dog, an American Akita named Aki. For her I designed the first bed called Dune.
PB : I focus attention on everything that animals might like, transforming hypothetical needs into refined and elegant objects. I aimed to achieve a meaningful combination between comfort and beauty with essential quality.
PB : My future plan for this award winning design is making the new trend dedicated to the pet world known to the wide and always more attentive public.
PB : I think I spent a few months working on sketches, graphic and executive elaborations and prototypes.
PB : As i have already said, initially I wanted to design a bed for my dog Aki, therefore a project was born from a personal will, then it became a far-sighted project.
PB : No, for now I want to check and control production myself, because only then I can check the quality of Brando branded products. No concession has been signed with other companies.
PB : Basically, the enthusiasm pushed me to do this drawings with the aim of becoming a reference in Europe for quality and design.
PB : No design o designer has influenced my drawings. Every object comes from inspiration. We are all constantly influenced by a society that changes with new lifestyles, and new trends.
PB : The target customers of this design are all pet lovers looking for exclusivity and beauty, and possessing economic capacity.
PB : This design identifies itself with its own autonomy and function. I could define it "a furnishing complement".
PB : Each piece of Pet Home Collection comes from a definite inspiration, which is reflected in its name. Dune is inspired by a freedom of a landscape of soft curves. Kanak revisits the intertwining arts of the indigenous world. Baco has a silkworm concept, where everything takes its shape and life. Cat60 is an Italian design tribute from the 60s. Tunnel is a reference of contemporary culture in architecture.
PB : A pencil and colors are always excellent working tools for the first reflections.
PB : The recognizability of each proposed piece with its own different characteristics, designed for different animal instincts.
PB : I collaborated with my colleague from the studio. We have been working together for many years. Each different technique applied is the result of research and work in collaboration with different companies.
PB : Technology is an indispensable tool to achieve quality and reduce a part of production costs.
PB : Enthusiasm is important for any new wok, but then you have to deal with numbers as well. I made a market research in order to learn everything world proposes for this sector.
PB : From the conception of the project to its construction there are several phases on which we must work carefully, analyzing every small aspect. The difficulty is to transform a graphic sign into a finite element, without adding further lines to the project.
PB : I decided to submit my designs to an international design competition because i believe that good design must gather broad international criticism.
PB : In the work of an architect and a designer every experience always marks an important professional step. Idro Montanelli at the age of 90 said: "I have reached the threshold of knowledge...".
PB : No, your interview is very complete.
