Denis Santachiara

Denis Santachiara launched his career in 1980 and was instantly attracted by the poetic linguistic potential of the artificial world and new technology, and by the aesthetic processes that they could generate in an industrial context.
He has produced works on the border between art and design, which were exhibited at the Venice Biennale, at documenta 8 in Kassel, at the Milan Triennale and the Rome Quadriennale.
He has curated numerous exhibitions, including  La Neomerce in 1984 at the Milan Triennale and at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and  I Segni dell'Habitat 1986 presented at the Grand Palais in Paris and at the Berlage Museum in Amsterdam. He also looked after the layout for the exhibition  New Persona for the Florence Biennale, between 1996 and 1997.
As an architect and interior designer, he designed - between 1988 and 1992 - the interiors of the Charterhouse of Avignon for the French Ministry of Culture and the Museum of Magic in Blois. In 1993, he designed the furnishings for the square of Toyama, Japan and in 1994-95 the interiors of the Art’otel in Dresden.
As a product designer, he has worked and works with famous international design companies. For FontanaArte, he designed the Aurea hanging lamp in 2005.
