Known for his intuitive understanding of materials and shapes; respect for both traditional design approaches as well as cutting-edge technology; and cross cultural sensibility, his distinctive design solutions have won international acclaim and global media attention.
The Italian’s passion for form, function and aesthetics is longstanding. Having grown up alongside a now fourth-generation family business specialized in woodwork, Bernardi went on to study Industrial Design at the University of Venice. After, he enjoyed creative collaborations with acclaimed designers including Aldo Cibic and Mario Mazzer; brands such as lighting design firm, iGuzzini; as well as multinational online furniture retailer, Made.com, as Product Manager.
Drawing on his international experience and insights, in 2014 he founded Lodovico Bernardi Studio. Operating internationally, the practice offers a full range of design services in the fields of furniture, products, lighting, interior and branding, including creative direction and design strategy.
Lodovico Bernardi is an award-winning designer with extensive experience across a range of disciplines, including furniture, interior, lighting and product design, as well as creative direction.
