Sergio Mannino

"Design is about magic. It should be measured with your soul, not your intellect." Sergio Mannino s passion for design comes from his mentorship under Radical Design Masters such as Ettore Sottsass and Remo Buti. After graduating, Sergio decided to move to NYC for a one-year experience, to be followed by one year in Tokyo. Twenty years later, Tokyo is still waiting, and New York has become his permanent home. Sergio s work is clearly influenced by the Italian Radical Design experiences of the 70s and 80s. He was already Remo Buti s teaching assistant before graduating and, as a mentor for his final thesis, he called Ettore Sottsass. With him, he designed a series of houses in Warsaw, Poland.
