Luca Papini

Luca Papini was born in Brescia on 16 February 1975. He studied at the Faculty of Architecture in Florence and then obtained a degree in Industrial Design at the IED in Milan. After several years of experience in important offices, in 2005 he opened his own studio focused on industrial design. Some of his works have won international awards - the Good Design Award in Chicago, the Gran Design Etico di Milano and a nomination for the German Design Preis. Since 2012 he has been teaching product design at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan.

Professionally, he teamed up with Infiniti, for which he designed the Faro bar table with a lacquered steel structure on a central base. It was designed for outdoor use, especially in cafés, bars and restaurants. Its overall appearance is light and minimalist, and its sophisticated design creates a second storage area in addition to its spectacular appearance.
