Dante O. Benini – Luca Gonzo & Helidon Xhixha

The collaboration between Dante O. Benini - Luca Gonzo & Helidon Xhixha resulted in the iconic luxury curved glass mirrors PHANTOM and CHRISTINE by FIAM. Dante Oscar Benini studied under Scarpa and Niemeyer, worked on projects all over the world and in 1997 founded the studio Dante O. Benini & Partners, which he runs with Luca Gonzo. They work in the fields of architecture, urbanism, interior and marine design and their creations have been awarded many times in international competitions.

Helidon Xhixha from Drac, Albania, developed his love for design in his father's studio. He studied at the Academy of Arts in Tirana, but moved to Italy during his studies. He developed his skills with a scholarship at Kingston University in London and then graduated from the Brera Academy of Art in Milan. He gained popularity mainly on the basis of his experimental work with stainless steel. His work has been exhibited all over the world.
