Founded in 2000, OTTO is a multi-disciplinary design studio realizing the creative vision of architect Paola Navone.
Supported by a team of fifteen, OTTO collaborates with a wide list of international clients through a range of projects from interior design to furniture and accessory design, including graphics, style and creative direction. The teams working on interior design projects and product design projects feed a continuous creative contamination, the key to achieve the global vision of the project. From micro to macro. From the architecture up to the details of styling.
Paola Navone, straightforward, a dreamer and eclectic: her mind and soul are a combination of flavors and colors of the South of the world – known, loved and lived – together with the taste and forms of the West, rich in traditions, open and continuously in movement. All of this produces her untiring curiosity in her research for matters and materials, forms and structures. In her research for the present, the past and the future. She is an architect, a designer, an interior decorator and art director. Many are the exhibitions and installations she took care of all over the world: in 1983 she won the International Design Award in Osaka, in 2000 she was Designer of the year for the German magazine Architektur & Wohen and in 2011 with 2 project of hers she won the Elle Deco International Design Awards. In 2014 she received the prestigious appointment to be part of the Design Hall of Fame from Interior Design Magazine. She collaborates with the most important names on the Italian and international scene in the world of design.
