MiQuadra Design

MiQuadra Design, also known as MQD, is an Italian studio directed by Andrea Cero, a product designer, and Riccardo Varini, an architect. The practice focuses on the interrelation between product design, communication and architecture, conceiving products and implementing 360-degree services for large companies and small organisations.

Since 2008 the studio has designed furniture, sports accessories and industrial machinery, and has created exhibition installations, displays and commercial spaces alongside visual identities and services. Cero and Varini teach design courses at the University of Bologna, IUAV University of Venice and the University of the Republic of San Marino, and the studio carries out research and experimental workshops; through MQD+ it also puts its skills at the service of associations working in sport and culture.
