Dario Antonioni
Designer | Entrepreneur
By the age of 10, while other kids were memorizing baseball statistics, Antonioni was devouring books on the Wright Brothers. Even then, Antonioni was amazed not so much by that first flight itself—but by the fact that two nobody bicycle mechanics had the effrontery to revolutionize a field so far beyond their area of expertise that they almost had no business being there.
"They were innovators who didn't follow a standard path," says Antonioni. "They followed intuition—even if it meant they didn't know where they'd end up, and they were relentless. To me, that's innovation."
Today, the founder of the Los Angeles design lab Orange22 still takes his cue from those aviators, refusing to abide by the often fiercely guarded distinctions between disciplines in design. He calls himself a "maker of things"—a purposefully open-ended description, as Orange22 designs and fabricates both mass-market and limited-edition objects and furniture, brand-defining retail environments, residential interiors and design concepts licensed for mass production. In every case, Antonioni fuses technology, art and design, with the overarching intent to revolutionize the way we live.
Antonioni's work has received awards from RedDot, IDEA, Good Design, Spark, Surface, Contract Magazine and been nominated for the People's Choice Award by the Cooper Hewitt. His work has been exhibited in NY, SF, Chicago, Paris, Cologne, Milan, Sydney, and Singapore. He currently lives and works in Playa Vista, California with his wife, baby girl and two dogs.
Oliver & Kari,
As we've explained over several emails both privately and to all backers there has been a rate increase in the shipping costs for international shipments. So much so that we feel its not worth paying upwards of$ 700 to have the bench shipped to Europe. We've expressed sincere regret for this unfortunate situation but its beyond our control. Therefore we refunded your pledge in-full.
Same happened to me, he is not responding to emails and the refunding amount is wrong.
Just wondering why there was an email refunding my pledge. I would much rather have the bench!
