Patrick Norguet is an essential figure on the international design scene.

After completing his design studies at the ESDI, Patrick Norguet was commissioned to design the display windows of

two major players in the luxury industry: Yves Saint-Laurent and Louis Vuitton. From these experiences, he gained an

un- derstanding of brand identity and the way of showcasing it. Designing Renault ‘s event stands helped him to hone

and apply his synthesis skills to ephemeral architectures.

In 2000, his Rainbow Chair, noticed and produced by Giulio Cappellini, gave him visibility that quickly spread thanks

to the international media. He then opened his studio in Paris. His early furniture collections for Bernhardt, Artifort,

Offect, Capdell or the French companies Alki and Tolix validated and established his presence at international shows. In

2010, designing one McDonald’s restaurant in France gradually led to a collaboration with McDonald’s Global. Patrick

Norguet has become an emblematic figure of French design.

Alias, Arflex, Artemide, Cassina, Emu, Ethimo, Glass Italia, Kristalia, Lea Ceramica, Pedrali, de Padova, and Tacchini

quickly recognized his talent and authority and fully involved him in the production process and strives to create long-

lasting collections. Drawing inspiration from everything that surrounds him, Patrick Norguet does not follow trends but

300

seeks to give shape to products whose relevance and modernity would withstand the test of time: “A well-designed

object, an object created through generous collaboration is time- less.” Together with RAK Ceramics, Patrick Norguet

presents the project RAK-Valet (2021).

Giuseppe Maurizio Scutellà was born in Alcamo, Sicily. His collaboration with RAK Ceramics begins with RAK-Cloud

(2018), a project that continues the creative thinking of the Italian designer and that integrates perfectly with his other

projects such as the collection of lamps “Pirce” by Artemide (Good_Design 2008, Red Dot Award 2009, IF Design Award

2010) and the “Metropolis” collection of crystal and ceramic tables by Tonelli Design. RAK-Petit (2019) is the second

concept developed together with RAK Ceramics.

Daniel Debiasi and Federico Sandri founded their own design studio in 2010 and work within various fields of design,

ranging from objects to spaces. Multiple experiments and the relationship between manufacture and craftsmanship

form the basis for a much broader thinking, where objects are always considered as part of a bigger picture. They

have created work for Antoniolupi, Lema, Ligne Roset, Normann Copenhagen, Offecct, Rosenthal, Stelton, Villeroy &

Boch among others. Many of their projects have received international design awards and are featured in publications

worldwide. In addition to their work as designers, they regularly teach, hold workshops and lectures at various

institutions including IUAV Venezia and Politecnico di Milano. Together with Rak Ceramics, Daniel Debiasi and Federico

Sandri present the project RAK-Variant (2019).
