DESIGNER’s STORY
Studio Kairos
Massimo Bonetti, Giuseppe Manente and Abramo Mion begin their career collaboratine with industries, universities and practising a free profession.
In classical Greek Kairos means: right point, right place, right time, right measure. In ancient Greece it was the concept that also defined the manner of operating, of designing. Kairos was, for instance, the choise of the right place for the construction of a house and, at the same time, the waiting for the right moment to do the works; this balanced combination of place and time guaranteed the right measure, a good result.
Inspired by this concept, Studio Kairos, was founded in 1980. It works on industrial design and development, as well in architecture and interior design.
Giuseppe Manente
