Graduated in architecture from Florence in 1994, he immediately devoted himself to small-scale design, specializing in techniques such as glass bending and plastic injection molding, leading to collaborations with brands like Fiam Italia and Fellowes.
Roberto Paoli thus gained technical and methodological knowledge, helping him bring his design vision to life, where functionality and technology blend seamlessly with the shape of objects.
His studio is based in Milan and works in both product and architectural design, developing projects for homes, shops, and showrooms, as well as exhibitions and trade show stands. Roberto Paoli is also the creator and curator of exhibitions, initiatives, and cultural design events.
In 2010, FreskoGel, a set of notebook feet in Technogel® for Tucano, was included in the ADI Design Index 2009 as a nominee for the Compasso d'Oro Award.
In 2009, 2010, and 2011, he won the Good Design Award in Chicago three years in a row.
In 2019, he won the Good Design Award with MIDJ for the Pippi collection.
