Area-17 Architecture & Interiors: Pioneers of Contemporary Italian Design

Philosophy and Approach
Area-17’s philosophy is to provide innovative solutions that cater not only to aesthetic and functional needs but also evoke an emotional response. Their inclusive approach to design ensures that every project they undertake is a harmonious collaboration between the client and the agency, making the creation process smooth and enriching.

Academic Collaboration
The symbiotic relationship of the agency with the University of Florence has played a pivotal role in how it perceives design. Driven by the vision of creating an internationally acclaimed structure, Area-17’s founders tapped into the rich academic and practical experience shared with the university.

A United Team
What truly distinguishes Area-17 is the synergy among its members. Before being a professional team, they are a group bound by strong personal ties, making every project they undertake personal and unique.

International Presence
Their horizons have expanded over the years, and today, Area-17 boasts offices in global metropolises such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Cuenca in Ecuador. Moreover, their media-lab in Sassari, Italy, stands as the birthplace of many innovations in the design realm.

Noteworthy Collaboration: Modena
One of their noteworthy collaborations has been the design of the "Modena" lamp for martinelli luce. This piece perfectly embodies Area-17’s approach, where functionality meets art, and the outcome is a lighting fixture that is not just a source of light but also an attention-grabbing centerpiece.

Area-17 Architecture & Interiors is not just a design agency; it's an institution that upholds the torch of Italian design excellence while merging with international sensibilities.
