DESIGNER
PIETRO RUSSO
Pietro Russo was born in Ostuni (Italy) in 1967. He studied painting, ceramics and scenography at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence, where he also took courses in design and architecture.
During this time, he took a very personal path in his artistic career, one that combined the imaginative and creative worlds of a scenographic setting with the exacting technical accuracy required by interior design.
Within this path of research, first works came to life: hybrid bright objects that showcase the distinctive features of later productions. From 1997 to 2002 Pietro lived in Berlin, where he worked as a film set decorator and product designer, exhibiting in many galleries within the city.
In 2002 he arrived in Milan, starting a long professional relationship with Lissoni Associati studio, where he worked both as interior and product designer. He also worked with Benetton, Kerakoll Design Gallery, Alessi, Cappellini, Kartell, Tecno Spa and Fritz Hansen, among others.
In 2010 he founded his studio: a house-atelier in the heart of Milan, a lively and dynamic laboratory that perfectly matches his creative energy and his continuous and relentless reseach.
With a carefully selected team of designers and architects and in close partnership with a network of esteemed Italian artisans, Pietro deals with interior and product design.
Suggestions coming from the contemporary world and from his lifetime passions – music, cinema, nature and science fiction – became, through his hands, meticulously elaborated, timeless creations.
His working philosophy is based on repurposing artisan creations and led to a relationship both concrete and spiritual with the selected materials – mainly wood, but also stone, marble, brass, bronze and glass –, with the purpose of giving new value to the magical and ritual side of creation. Pietro works in perfect synergy with a team of experts.He also works with his clients, who are for him an extraordinary incitement to accept new challenges.
At the moment, Pietro is working on different projects together with Casamilano, Baxter, Gallotti & Radice, Editions Milano and Ichendorf Milano, among others. «To me an object is first of all a graphic sign. I always start with a pure geometric shape.» «Space is something to wear, it has to be like a sartorial suit: tailor-made on who lives in it.»
«My goal is to combine themes and styles, putting different codes together. Through my work I would love to tell a story.» «Hanging between past and future, his elegance is build on materials that come from the tradition: wood, stone, marble and metals, all reinvented by experimenting new ways of working.»

CARE-MAINTENANCE
CUSHIONS
They have to be tidied up and frequently aired, shaking the material inside to distribute uniformly.
WOOD, LACQUER, GLASS AND METAL PARTS
Remove dust using gently a damp cloth to avoid scratching the surfaces. For glass parts cleaning, use either alcohol diluted with water or glass detergent, then dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid the use of products containing acetone, ammonia, chlorine and solvents, any abrasive product and wax for furniture.
LEATHER
For the daily maintenance of leather upholstery, use a clean, soft, white cloth to take off dust. In case of spots, treat immediately the surface with a clean, white cloth, damped with warm water. Do not rub the surface. Do not use solvents or alcohol as they can damage forever the look of the leather. In case of oily spots, take them off carefully using absorbent paper, without making any pressure to avoid that the oily material penetrates into the leather pores. Carefully take off the spot using a clean cloth, damped with a very diluted emulsion of water and neutral soap. Let the leather upholstery dry in the open air, but not to direct sunlight.
FABRICS
For the daily maintenance of fabric upholstery, use a soft cloth to take off dust. Avoid carpet-beater or vacuum cleaner, which can damage the padding. In case of spots, treat the surface as soon as possible with a clean, white cloth, damped with warm water (do not rub down the surface). Do not use detergents. Let the fabric dry in the open air, do not iron or vaporize. If it is necessary to wash the upholstery completely, before proceeding you have to protect the velcro with a protective velcroproof tape, avoiding any damage during washing. Casamilano always recommends to dry clean and reverse ironing care of a specialized dry-cleaner. In case of spots, inform the dry- cleaner about the type of stain. All info about fabric maintenance are available on our website.
MARBLE SURFACES
Remove dust using a damp cloth. In case of stains caused by liquids or greasy substances, immediately gently remove dirt with an absorbing cloth. Then wipe gently the whole surface with a cloth dampened with warm water, avoiding scratches on surfaces. Do not use any products containing alcohol, acetone, ammonia, chlorine or solvents, abrasive products, limescale remover, since they might permanently damage the surface of the product, making it look opaque, with marks. Marble is a very delicate material; being porous, it tends to absorb liquids and therefore to stain. Casamilano marble products are treated with a special anti-stain and water-repellent product, but in any case, oily or acidic substances have to be promptly removed so as not to damage the surface. As marble is a natural product, any visible imperfection or irregularity of the veins or colours has to be considered to be properties of the marble itself, features that emphasize the uniqueness of the product not a defect.
