Studio Gustavo Martini

Gustavo Martini , Brazil.

Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1987, Gustavo Martini just got awarded as Next Generation Designer of The Year 2017 by Wallpaper and Officine Panerai. During his graduation, he won the Idea Brazil Award and has continued to receive increased media attention as a young upcoming Brazilian designer. His interest in arts began at a young age with drawings, paintings and construction toys that naturally became his profession.
During his very first year practicing on his own Studio, he was invited to exhibit at the Brazilian Art Fair in Miami Art Basel and later that year at the MAM design store. His greatest passion is to create, with complete freedom of expression. Martini typically spends the days exploring concepts, forms which goes on to create what he calls a “stripped experimental language for his projects.”
As he has lived the majority of his life in Rio, Martini has a strong sense of connection with the city which he believes combines two contrasting worlds. This includes the metropolis with all the chaos and grey landscape together with the sourounding rain forest and hidden beaches with waterfalls. With a strong identity, he has the ability to produce both conceptual objects or products for large scale production. Currently, Martini lives in Milan after completing a Master graduation at Istituto Marangoni.
