Krill Design is an Italian design studio specialising in the development of new design products within a 100% circular and sustainable process.
THE STORY
Krill design was created in 2018 by three people who share a passion for innovation, sustainability, and design: Ivan Calimani, Martina Lamperti, and Yack di Maio.
“We are a multidisciplinary team the combination of different personalities and professional skills stimulates our work to satisfy the desire for experimentation.”
Krill Design
The consideration of the three founders is quite simple: there are already several supply chains that intercept and recover waste from the production of paper, glass, and plastic, while for the organic by-products of the food chain, there are no virtuous solutions.
The three founders converted this problem into an opportunity, experimenting with creating innovative materials, which, combined with the 3D printing method, gave life to a successful and environmentally friendly production process.
Krill Design has been awarded Best Performer for circular economy services and recognized by the World Economic Forum as an example of sustainability.
