Meet the designer
Matteo Ugolini, art director and creative mind at Karman, transcends conventional design boundaries, leading the company on a distinctive and expressive journey. Without drawing direct inspiration from past design icons, Ugolini creates purely from personal passion, focusing on designs that evoke emotion and connect deeply with viewers. Rooted in nostalgia and a profound connection to nature, his work often brings natural elements into harmony with human life, mirroring a timeless relationship. Nature frequently appears in Ugolini's designs, serving as a bridge to reconnect people with an element that humanity increasingly drifts from. His approach reminds us of nature’s enduring role in our lives, weaving it into contemporary spaces to inspire a sense of closeness and reverence. Ugolini’s work is a testament to the emotional power of design, transforming everyday objects into experiences that resonate with memory and the natural world.
