designer

The designers who collaborate with QD Magistro Lab share a vision: to explore matter in order to transform it into new forms capable of excitement. Simple objects and materials become a source of inspiration, traces from which to give birth to authentic and contemporary collections. Their work is a harmonious synthesis of innovation and tradition, where every detail tells of an everyday gesture made extraordinary by design.

Paul D’arrigo

Smooth as time in nature

I live design as an alchemy of nature and hi-tech.
I practice form not as an aesthetic invention, but as the outcome of a process that measures itself against the constraints of matter and pushes them beyond.
Each material is a map to be traveled by letting itself be guided by its signs, following its implicit directions and unveiling those that are possible and yet to be written.
In this journey, the know-how of the companies I work with becomes a medium and a boundary to be explored and expanded as much as possible.
I pursue a beauty that communicates the unexpected. I do not design to meet a codified need. I start from common elements to reinvent gestures.

The architecture of water

“We always start from the reworking of our surroundings in order to arrive at the synthesis of something new” . The Swing series starts from this reflection that underlies our creative journey and the desire to create, through a unique detail, a collection with a decisive and distinguishable character.
Taking up the distinctive feature of the lever, with extreme attention to proportions, we arrived at a decomposition and recomposition of volumes.
The simplicity and geometry of the handle create linearity and elegance in a timeless form.

The O of perfect

I believe that the good product is not only the creation of a beautiful, visually pleasing form, but the result of several factors such as: production processes, engineering, aesthetics, user experience/ergonomics, and communication.
Finding the right balance between these points is what results in good design.
Therefore, I can say that a characteristic of my creative process is to approach design in a holistic way, with a broad knowledge of the historical and cultural roots of the design world.
