Claudio Caramel
This
architect whose creativity is multi-faceted is active in his
studio-workshop in Padua, his work ranging between major projects,
restructurings and quality industrial design. In his youth he devoted
himself to the visual arts, and his works have been on display in
various exhibitions; he also founded one of the first Italian schools
of open-sea sailing. Since the mid-1980s he has written and published
many works, with a strong propensity for the designing of houses,
architectures for interiors, shops and display layouts; these are
documented in a number of monographic volumes and in the main
specialist magazines.
As a designer he works in the most diverse
sectors: mechanics and electronics, fashion and furniture, bathrooms,
display items and nautical objects. Among his most well-known
projects are the LAVAZZA coffee cup with all its accessories (1996),
an item produced in its millions. His works have been on display in
various international exhibitions. With the Hang shelf by Desalto he
won the “Best System, interior innovation award” at Cologne in
2005.
