For designer Mario Gagliardi, design is the language to connect people with objects, values and narratives. After his studies under legendary designers Alessandro Mendini and Richard Sapper and an international design career, including positions such as chief designer of LG in South Korea, design consultant for Samsung, design professor in Korea and Denmark and speaker at many design congresses, Mario Gagliardi founded Mario & Casa in 2022.

Mario´s design philosophy is rooted in his Italian heritage and incorporates inspirations from places where he lived and worked – Denmark, Japan, Korea, Thailand, the Middle East and India. With great sensitivity for colors, patterns and surfaces, Mario's designs convince with their personality - he lends objects a joyful touch, a unique spark of inspiration. His designs transcend fleeting trends and elevate both historic and contemporary interiors.

Mario & Casa was made to reflect on the fundamental question of quality in our time. We think that true quality can only be expressed in products made by hand, with creativity, ingenuity and skill.

We create contemporary objects on the fundament of centuries of craft tradition.
