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.
