Marco Baxadonne is an Italian architect and designer, born in 1961, who lives and works in Turin. He has designed for companies across many sectors; in 2006 he won the Comfort & Design ADI Prize and his work was selected for the XXI and XXII Compasso d'Oro. His projects have been exhibited at the Milan Triennale, and from 2009 to 2011 he served on the ADI committee for Piedmont and Aosta Valley.
For Riva 1920 he designed the Geppo Stool, carved from a single block of scented cedar in a soft, curvilinear form. An open space beneath the seat holds books and objects, allowing the piece to work equally as a small side table or a night table.
