Zanellato/Bortotto

Zanellato/Bortotto is a studio founded by the young Italian designers Giorgia Zanellato (1987-) and Daniele Bortotto (1988-). Both originally from the Triveneto region, they studied together at the IUAV in Venice and then launched their first joint project at the Salone Satellite in 2013: the “Acqua Alta” series, specifically dedicated to the city of Venice. The Veneto capital was also a source of inspiration for the first collection designed for a major brand, the “La Serenissima” furniture collection designed in 2014 for Moroso. The success of these projects convinced the duo to found a real studio in 2015, thus starting an upward trend that continues to this day. Their fresh and contemporary style has won over many important furniture brands: among the numerous partnerships, the most notable are those with Bolzan, an emerging brand dedicated to beds and the sleeping area for which they have designed several models in addition to the Milanese flagship store, and with De Castelli, a brand dedicated to exploring creative uses of metallic materials. Other brands with which the Zanellato/Bortotto studio has worked are, among others, Ethimo, Saba Italia, Novamobili, Louis Vuitton, Wall&Decò, cc-tapis and B-Line.
