Antonio Pugliese
Product Design Manager
Shanghai, ChinaDesigning a new product means imagining a story, designing a relation between the user and the object. Following this philosophy, I aim to design products with a great care about the finishes, the interfaces, the materials and the constant search of the best final quality. During the studies and the work experiences I improved my abilities to combine a good and smart design with high technology and accurate details. I care how the material combination looks and the tactile perception of the finishes communicates with the people. I aim to realize not a simple product, but an icon, a secret life companion that tells a story and create an unique relationship with the owner.
