He studied at the Salzburg Academy and graduated in architecture at the University of Florence. He boasts some great professional connections, such as the one with Ettore Sottass which led him to the co-creation of the Memphis Group. Before founding his studio, he also worked as a professor in Vienna. Memphis is design, history, revolution. The company owns Memphis-Milano, Meta-Memphis and Post Design, three brands that belong to three different moments in Memphis' history. Founded in 1981 by Ettore Sottsass and a group of designers and architects, Memphis revolutionized the concept of living through furniture, lamps and accessories that mix elegance and kitsch, in dialogue with absurd and irrational shapes. Memphis' catalogue is constantly growing, ranging from historical collection to new trends and arrivals.
