David Girelli, a Swiss designer based in the UK, is rapidly gaining renown across Europe for his elegant contemporary furniture. His pieces distinctly echo Scandinavian design, characterized by a minimalistic style, bright textured fabrics and leathers, and interlocking geometric shapes.
Girelli's diverse background in engineering, fashion, and interior design is clearly reflected in his notable collections. Central to his design philosophy is a commitment to honesty and beauty, achieved through traditional joinery techniques and the exclusive use of natural materials. In 2019, he founded Girelli Studio, a multidisciplinary practice focusing on industrial design, product design, and design consultancy.
