Speaker Profile

Gian Paolo
Venier

Designer & Partner - OTTO Studio

Passionate traveller, he moves from East to West, from North to South, constantly nourishing his work with new sources of inspiration. Venier designs interiors, temporary installations, products and textiles, and is a creative director.

He enjoys drawing fashion pieces, including his own clothes, and loves to paint. Born in Trieste – unsurprisingly facing the Molo Audace (Daring Pier) – he has lived in London and New York, before landing in Milan. Venier calls himself an urban animal, but has chosen the island of Syros, in the Cyclades (Greece), as his favourite place. For the time being.
Today he is a partner of OTTO Studio together with Paola Navone, Domenico Diego and Cristina Pettenuzzo.
Born from the creative vision of Paola Navone, OTTO is a multi-disciplinary design studio working with a varied portfolio of international clients. The practice realizes interiors and products, caring for the research and development of each project, including creative direction, graphics and style.
The teams dedicated to interior design projects, and the ones developing product and graphic design projects work at various levels: from the architectural scale to the stylistic and decorative details.
