Marco Gottardi, Stefania Crippa, and Michele Bertolini founded the innovative and unique design firm, Studio Contromano, in 2014. The three talented designers worked independently on various projects in the architecture realm before coming together and creating a new kind of studio that they think of as a creative think tank, where they are continually coming up with new and exciting products. By collaborating with many prestigious Italian companies, including Bontempi Casa, Contromano Studio has earned a stellar reputation for its gorgeous pieces of furniture. The designs focus on balancing beautiful aesthetics with practicality to produce products that are useful and striking.
