Aldo Cibic

Aldo Cibic is an Italian designer and architect born in Schio, in the province of Vicenza, in 1955. He trained as a self-taught designer, joined Sottsass Associati in 1981 and was among the founding members of Memphis, the collective that reshaped the visual language of the 1980s.

In 1989 he founded Cibic Workshop in Milan, a studio conceived as a multidisciplinary research centre spanning architecture, interiors, product, graphics and urban regeneration, with a second office in Shanghai since 2020. Its work is organised around accessible beauty for domestic space, communal landscapes and ‘The New Old’, the reuse of existing materials; the studio was listed by Domus among the 100+ best architecture firms of 2019, and Cibic teaches at Tongji University in Shanghai and at Italian universities.
