Valerio Sommella is an Italian industrial designer whose work bridges tradition and innovation. Born in Cortona, Tuscany, and raised in Milan, he graduated from the Design Department of the Politecnico di Milano. Early in his career, he worked between Milan and Amsterdam, gaining international experience before founding his own studio, Valerio Sommella Design Studio, in 2009.
Today, he collaborates with both Italian and international brands, designing a diverse range of products across multiple industries. At the heart of his practice is a deep investigation into the language of objects, where form, material, and technology intersect. Sommella approaches each project as a unique story, distinct and self-contained, rather than part of a continuous narrative. Yet a consistent design voice runs through all his work, bringing cohesion to an ever-evolving portfolio.
Throughout his career, he has collaborated with renowned companies such as Alessi, Alcantara, Apple, Ethimo, Moooi, Nemo, Kdln, Honda, Falmec, Konica Minolta, Panasonic, RH, and many others.
