Marco Merendi & Diego Vencato

Marco Merendi and Diego Vencato met in a design studio where Marco was responsible for the artistic direction and Diego was in charge of the project development department. Key to their work together are the results of their extensive research, in which they explore in detail materials, modern technologies and the ever-evolving interrelationships between industry and craft, tradition and the present. You have to blend in perfectly with your project, say Marco and Diego, only then does your work have real meaning.

Merendi and Vencato have long collaborated, for example, with the Italian brand Pedrali, for whom they designed the quirky Caementum concrete side table. It is thanks to the two designers' excellent material knowledge that the concrete table boasts special additives that improve its technical properties as well as its resistance to mechanical and weathering influences.
