Nicola Checchi

Nicola Checchi is an Italian product and interior designer based in Ferrara, where he founded Checchi Design Studio in 2019 after training as a surveyor at the ITG Aleotti. The studio works on two fronts: residential and commercial interiors followed from concept to turnkey renovation, with artisans, building firms and local suppliers, and product design developed with Italian companies.

His best-known piece in the design press is the modular Shell bookcase, designed for Damiano Latini and part of the brand’s catalogue of collaborations with international designers, whose in-house research and development team studies and industrialises each project. The studio’s portfolio also covers furniture, complements and objects, with surveys, technical drawings, photorealistic renderings and material selection as part of the same process.
