Dainelli Studio was founded in 2007 by Leonardo and Marzia Dainelli, a pairing of designers and architects specialized in product design and interior design respectively. The studio – based in Milan – was initially founded in Pisa, in the heart of Tuscany, where Leonardo and Marzia have lived and worked for over 12 years. Nature, the marble quarries, the culture and the craftsmanship know-how that are typical of this region mark strong imprinting in the design style of the creative duo. The continuous aesthetic and formal research, a distinctive feature of Dainelli Studio, takes the form of a refined design, attentive to proportions, and to the harmony between shapes, colors, materials and finishes. Each project, in fact, brings with it a deep design culture combined with a thorough knowledge of industrial and craft techniques and production processes. The ability to interact both with the environment and with the single product – thanks to the expertise of Leonardo and Marzia – makes it possible to give life to every element required for the implementation of a fully customized project: from the single custom-made object to the total look of a complete habitat. Product Design Everything starts from a sketch, a freehand drawing, and inspiration that is then transformed into an object. A mix of shapes and wise use of materials, finishes and details, studied

Interior Design Dainelli Studio creates interior projects for public and private spaces, the stylistic code of the creative duo refers to a decorative style, sophisticated but never loud. The spaces are designed according to the lives of those who will occupy them, with a particular emphasis on lighting: natural and artificial light are guided to give the spaces a feeling of familiarity and coziness. The furnishings often combine made-to-measure pieces – such as closets and boiserie – custom-made products – tables, sofas, consoles – and classics by the great masters of design. The result is contemporary, luxurious, sophisticated, elegant and yet welcoming
