Nava + Arosio

Nava + Arosio is the studio of Paolo Emanuele Nava, born in 1989, and Luca Maria Arosio, born in 1988, who began collaborating at the start of their studies at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan and graduated with honours in product design in 2012. They worked for Rubelli, Lago, Riva1920 and Italamp, and with Paolo Nava Design Studio, before founding Nava+Nava Design Studio in 2014, which became Nava + Arosio Studio in 2018.

The studio keeps two headquarters, one in Milan and one in Lissone, an early-twentieth-century house-studio-laboratory, with contact points in Shanghai and Hamburg. Its approach is humanistic design, with the person at the centre of material and immaterial needs, driven by research and experimentation, so that every project answers both the client’s brief and the needs of the final user.
