Christian Theill was born in Germany in 1954, I live in Italy since 1975 (Italian citizenship since 2007). In 1980 I finished the Italian State Design School (ISIA) in Florence with honors. Since 1981 I work free-lance in Florence: consultancies of industrial design, engineering, industrialization and corporate identity for companies in Italy and abroad, mainly in these fields. Claudio Nardi produces architectural projects, for government offices and private clients, in Italy and, above all, abroad. Among his most recent projects are New Town Hall in Kracow (now in progress) and the new headquarters of the Port Authority at Marina di Carrara (2007), the Vertex tower and Office Building in Amman (2007), the new Museum of Contemporary art at Fabrika Schindlera in Krakow (2010), dealing with the theme of transformation, the relationship between innovation and history, between form and function, between "product" (in the broadest sense) and communication. Among his many projects in the fashion world appear names like Dolce e Gabbana, Ferr�, Valentino, Ext�, Malo, Tod's etc. Every time, his work involves in-depth study, not only in his own sphere of specialization; every project, even an interior, is to a large extent developed through the use of light, sensitive materials and particular combinations of surfaces, volumes, solids and open space. Both designers worked for Zeus.
