Elena Fogliarini

« I was born and raised in Turin, Italy. I studied industrial design and visual communication at the Politecnico of Turin, in Italy and I did a Masters in product design at the Strate Design School in Paris. As a designer, I am interested in improving people’s daily lives by designing smart and simple products. Furthermore, an equilibrium between shape and material, form and function is important to me and I like to play with metaphors, hiding a meaning behind the objects that I design. In my opinion, designers are people who see life from a particular point of view. Thus, they can notice details and find good solutions to/for everybody’s daily problems. Each project aims to improve an actual/real situation. So, I believe design helps people feel better. »
