Robin Rizzini was born in Genoa in 1973. After a lengthy stint working in Antonio Citterio’s Milan office, he opened his first design studio in 2006. A few years later he co-founded and operated as Design Partner of the Milan-based Metrica studio. In 2019, he became an independent designer again.
He has worked with many companies in Italy and abroad, designing furniture for the residential, contract and office market. He balances the technical-industrial language with a more decorative one, merging them to design essential, functional and expressive objects and furniture.
He was awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 2014.

The Hito executive system is the result of the first collaboration between Robin Rizzini and IVM Office.

“Design for me is an infinite, extreme search for the right balance between aesthetics and comfort,form and function. I try to create emotion, to invite people to sit or to use my furniture when they see it. My search goes towards those who disregard standards and uniformity, although with different needs and desires. I do not intend to create pieces for museum collections; my furniture is made to be lived and to live with its owners…”
Stefano Bigi

For IVM, Stefano Bigi has designed the FUNNY SAT – welcome&desk collection, the XCALL, XDESK smart solutions, and the XLOUNGE system.

A well-known designer on the Italian scene. Active since the 1970s in the furnishing field, he collaborates constantly with national and international brands. He designs for: Chateaux d’Ax, Misuraemme, IVM Office, MDF Italia, etc. For him, designing means starting from the interpretation of reality and the observation of needs and desires. Starting from suggestions and emotions. Ennio Arosio’s projects feature clear-cut designs with an eye for detail and the use of “true materials”. His design goes beyond geographic and cultural confines, which enable him, for example, to combine western pragmatism with eastern sensitivity. For IVM, Ennio Arosio designed the MASTER executive collection ……”Master has a rigorous design that conveys simple strength, an essential feature for a solid, personal, prestigious space. It only takes a minute to appreciate the emotions, because quality of image and eye for detail are immediate sensations. It has, in fact, provided a new way of interpreting executive space. And I have to stress the idea of the crystal vase included in the track as a “breakage” element. At that time, IVM understood (perhaps “felt”) the need to develop an aesthetic sense that it had and which it only needed to manage to express. Because I conceived that vase dedicating it to the sensitivity of all, in the sense that every person is to put their flower in it”… design is everywhere, in a stone, in a drop, in a smile, in a sound. It is the designer’s task to see it and interpret it”. Ennio Arosio

…”I first started aged eighteen, with my own study and without a teacher; my strength lies in direct experience. My first important experience dates to 1993, when I went to Moscow for a design competition. Development opportunities were so interesting that I stayed there for four years. There, I understood that it is essential to establish a good relationship with the private customer (be it a western businessman or Russian tycoon!) and to fully understand the needs before interpreting them. Having started early, I learnt to take a humble approach, with a “professional kindness” that I am still known for. In all relations, I naturally seek to go beyond the professional sphere, making them friendly and looking to compare notes and experiences. My “professional language” is also a gradual conquest, the result of a hard, but profitable path. It is a feature that I stand out for, in my micro cosmos, with respect to far larger realities, realities that are far more structured in the field of design. For me, professionalism means searching for constant growth. Thus I did: starting from some basic ideas connected with the approach to design, through to creating an efficient, streamlined structure to rationalise organisation and administration. Here too… I would thank a partner who gave me the right skills to prepare a “scientific” method and which today I duly put to good use… I love to captain a sailing boat because, as Nino_ the star of my novel Mareamoreamaro_ loves to repeat, at sea, even after the very worst storm, there is always a wonderfully sunny day”.    Emanuele Montanelli The collaboration between Emanuele Montanelli and IVM began in 1999 with the project to recover and transform the historic headquarters of industry in Lissone into the business showroom. The understanding between client and designer has been consolidated over the years, through the development of spaces for the Milan Eimu and Cologne Orgatec fairs, where the design and display language has always seen the product as the protagonist and the environment encompassing them in an elegant, discreet, reassuring casing. www.emanuelemontanelli.com
