Davide Carlesi and Gian Luca Tonelli, both born in Italy in the 1970s, began working in industrial design in the late 1990s and founded their studio in 2004 in Pasian di Prato, near Udine. Their method rests on rigour of drawing, an essential style and technical research, with close attention to manufacturing processes, materials and technology. That discipline runs through much of the current Accento range. Umami takes its name from the Japanese idea of savoury depth: a slender bentwood beech frame carries two curved backrest elements in cane or rope, with load-bearing parts kept distinct so the chair stays light. Soft brings visible wooden details to upholstered backrests across chairs, office seating and stools. Surf, Sweetly, Cremino, Bacio and Pantelleria extend the same vocabulary across dining chairs, armchairs and bar stools for hospitality use.
