"I design to innovate. My approach to the project is essential. I create objects whose essence is a simple and sophisticated soul. My lines come from small insights. Common thread is: less is more, eliminating the unnecessary. I have a vision. I insist to stay."
Leonardo Talarico is an Italian designer and art director among the leading figures redefining contemporary design.
His projects stem from a strongly identity-driven vision and develop through a process of subtraction, where what remains becomes essence.
He subtracts to reveal and give voice to emptiness, transforming the object into a pure, essential graphic sign.
His creations assert themselves without shouting, thanks to a narrative ability that translates concepts into sophisticated, timeless forms.
He has designed for leading international brands such as Cappellini, MDF Italia, Living Divani, CC-Tapis, Tod’s, Mercedes-Benz, Trussardi Casa, Antolini, Agusta Westland and Henrytimi.
His works have been exhibited in world-renowned cultural institutions, from the Triennale di Milano to the MAXXI and the Saatchi Gallery.
The U.S. daily newspaper The Oregonian has described him as the designer shaping the future of design.
