When fashion, style and culture collided in the mid 20th Century, London was the centre of the world and SoHo was its capital.
The swinging 60s heralded a new way of thinking and a new way of living. Design was and never would be the same and it’s why our bedside table deserved a name to befit the ideas of its time. Gino Carollo has created something which represents that swinging sixties vibe with a nod to our modern day culture.
Wood and glass represent today’s interpretation of high quality materials used in the most precise form whilst its geometric shape is a reminder of that transformative period in global culture. Liberated by its fluid form, SoHo is a geometric construction of three different elements perfectly overlapping to give a strong and expressive shape without losing any of its delicate touch. Old meets new, which is never a bad thing.

He designed, on behalf of Assarredo, the installation and coordinated image for the “Italia” pavilion at the international furniture fair in Cologne in 1992 and 1993, and again in 1992 the Italian pavilion at the “Interieur” fair in Vienna. In 1993 he took part in the “Dirattan” exhibition in Milan and in 1994 in the “progetti e territori” exhibition at the Abitare il Tempo fair in Verona. Some products were exhibited at the MoMA in New York. In the same years he won the “Du Pont” prize in Cologne, the “Young design” prize in Milan and the “Casaidea” prize in Rome. In 2012 he received the Interior Innovation Award in Cologne for the “Bookless” product by Interlübke. In 1999, STUDIO28 GINO CAROLLO opened with the aim of creating a qualified team to support companies in the sector. Product design linked to the engineering and creation of models and prototypes have proven to be tools that have allowed the studio to acquire concrete results over the years and to establish long-term collaborations. The industrial design activity of Studio 28 has expanded in recent years with the inclusion of new areas of expertise with particular development in the field of architectural design of exhibition spaces, showrooms and corporate identity.
What makes us is our history, what inspires us is our heritage. We feed off the creative impulses and visions of the past, forcing us to imagine our new legacy, one based on the Arketipo way. From what made us, to what makes us think to today, everything is grounded in a past that is forever present, forever pushing us forwards.
