Paolo Stefano Gentile
Product Design – Art Direction – Exhibition
I deal with product design and art direction in Milan, the city where I live and work. I graduated in Product Design at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan. In 2020, Elle Decor selected me among the 30 best young international talents and, in 2021, I was included in the list of emerging designers of Magazine For Living. Among my most representative projects is the Pocopiano dish, designed for Orografie and presented at Mudec by the multi-starred chef Enrico Bartolini. In 2024 it was included in the ADI Design Index. My works have been published in the main sector magazines and exhibited at events such as Dutch Design Week, EDIT Napoli, Maison & Objet, Milan Design Week and others.
Mi occupo di product design e art direction a Milano, città in cui vivo e lavoro. Mi sono laureato in Design del Prodotto presso la Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti di Milano. Nel 2020, Elle Decor mi ha selezionato tra i 30 migliori giovani talenti internazionali e, nel 2021, sono stato incluso nella lista dei designer emergenti di Magazine For Living. Tra i miei progetti più rappresentativi c’è il piatto Pocopiano, disegnato per Orografie e presentato al Mudec dal pluristellato chef Enrico Bartolini. Nel 2024 è stato inserito nell’ADI Design Index. I miei lavori sono stati pubblicati sulle principali riviste del settore ed esposti in eventi quali Dutch Design Week, EDIT Napoli, Maison & Objet, MDW e altri.

“…si intravedono i segni nei suoi pochi ma intensi progetti. Che sembrano tutti nascere da un’attenta riflessione sul senso non solo del disegnare, ma di trasformare la materia in un gesto che accarezza la coscienza. Per divertire.”
