Claudio Nardi Sale

Tuscan-born Claudio Nardi graduated in architecture from Florence’s Università degli Studi in 1978, founding his eponymous design studio the following year in the same city. His acclaim derives mainly from his interior design projects throughout the world, beginning in the mid-nineties, for the some of the most prestigious Italian fashion houses including Dolce e Gabbana, Papini, Valentino, Tod’s, Ferrè, Extè, Malo, Gente Roma and Luisaviaroma in Florence. Supported by his design studio, Claudio Nardi Architects, Nardi "approaches each and every project with an attentiveness that is simultaneously emotional and rational". His style concept, characterized by irresistible, sophisticated aesthetic beauty, sees architecture as the result of a focus on global complexity and meticulous eye for details. His body of work has resulted in the creation of surfaces defined by light and experimental combinations of new and traditional materials.
