Guglielmo Poletti on Classicdesign.it

Trained at the Design Academy Eindhoven and now based in Milan, Guglielmo Poletti develops an essential design language that investigates the structural limits of materials, transforming minimal gestures into constructions of striking intensity. His research, grounded in a “thinking by doing” approach, explores tension, balance, and points of fragility to reveal the internal logic of objects through forms reduced to their purest expression.

His creations – ranging from unique pieces and limited editions to industrial collaborations – stand out for a formal purity that conceals a carefully resolved complexity. Every element is precisely calibrated, every detail becomes a narrative device capable of redefining the perception of stability and lightness. The result is a body of work that merges experimentation and coherence, architecture and gesture, technique and intuition.

Recognized internationally and awarded by institutions such as MAISON&OBJET, ADI, and Wallpaper*, Poletti collaborates with leading figures in the contemporary design landscape. His works, featured in museum collections and international exhibitions, embody a vision that continues to evolve without losing its identity: a poetics of subtraction that highlights the strength of materials and the precision of the design process.
