Lionel Dalmazzini is a young designer who is interested in the forms and functions of everyday objects as well as their productions. He specializes in industrial design and looks at each subject with an eye to the future in order to propose efficient, expressive and responsible solutions through simple manufacturing processes.
Graduated from ECAL (Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne) in 2016, he starts by evolving within the design studio Big-Game. After several years working on industrial projects with major furniture, appliance and watch brands, he decided to set up his own business.
Today Lionel works as a freelancer in Marseille where he offers services in industrial design and design consulting.
