MAURIZIO PEREGALLI
Designer / Artist
Maurizio Peregalli was born 1951 in Varese.
In 1984 he funded ZEUS with a group of friends and is now art director and CEO.
Since ever he has a deeply minimalistic approach to design. Tireless investigator and researcher of new materials, twisting and shaking uses of industrial-type elements.
Since 1980 he collaborates with several companies, including Giorgio Armani, Replay, Furla and Giglio Palermo for which he designs, plans and carries out fashion boutiques in Italy and abroad.
For years he has been promoter of exhibitions and cultural events, giving new designers, artisans and young producers worldwide a chance to display their prototypes, to meet and to make themselves known.

CHARACTERISTICS
Olive tree has noble historical roots, it is known not only for its resistance and hardness but especially for its flame aspect and its artistic chromatic grains. Each piece is entirely made by hand and therefore unique. Each piece is different one from the other, the polishing treatment can create opaque or reflecting effects.
Wood loses water in a natural way.During this process wood undergoes colour variations, and only when it has become darker it has to be considered aged. Buying a product in solid olive wood you have to know and accept that with time it will change: splits and cracks are the characteristics of unique pieces.
