Gamper, Martino

biography

Martino Gamper was born in 1971 in Merano (Italy). After starting out as an apprentice with a furniture manufacturer in his home town, he joined the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he studied sculpture with the artist Michelangelo Pistoletto (Arte Povera). His academic career continued with a two-year Master in the Design Products department at the Royal College of Art in London (2000), under the guidance of Israeli designer Ron Arad. It was during these London years that he met the members of the Åbäke group, with whom he began a series of collaborations, with the notions of multidisciplinarity, sharing, and events at the heart of their reflections, proposals, and productions. In addition to his work as an object designer, Martino Gamper now co-directs the Dent-De-Leone publishing house with Gemma Hölt, Kajsa Stähl and Maki Suzuki, which publishes “100 Chairs in 100 Days and its 100 Ways” (5th edition), a book documenting the forms that emerged from the eponymous project that brought him to international attention in 2007.
