Matteo Ugolini

Matteo Ugolini, art director and creative director of Karman, represents an innovative figure in the world of design, capable of leading the company along a distinctive and original path. His creativity is not influenced by the great masters of the past; rather, Ugolini relies on what he likes, following his own intuition and passion. His main objective is to arouse emotions through his works, deeply rooted in memories of the past and in a strong connection with nature. Nature, a central element in his creations, is frequently intertwined with his works, creating a bridge between man and the natural environment. This union evokes a return to the origins, a reconnection with the natural element from which man is progressively detaching himself.

An example of his unique style is the Amsterdam wall lamp, part of Karman's "Zoo" collection. This lamp, inspired by a bulldog, features the silhouette of the dog's head in high relief, made of white or gray matte ceramic. The bulldog holds three light bulb cables in his mouth, a detail that adds character and originality to the design. Another of his creations is Maoo, a lamp that seems to capture a moment of play between a cat and a mouse. Made of matte white ceramic with a glass sphere containing a mouse-shaped sticker, Maoo can be mounted on a wall or placed on a desk or bedside table.

With each piece, Matteo Ugolini invites you to rediscover the value of nature and memories, making design an emotional and personal journey.
