Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba is an artist and designer trained at the Severini Institute of Art and the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna. This artistic journey has influenced his approach to design, where the creative aspect continuously intertwines with industrial production. Fundamental elements of Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba's stylistic language are irony and nature—two protagonists of his imaginative universe populated by fantastic, dreamlike, extravagant, and surreal creatures. The relationship between man and nature is one of the recurring themes in his work, particularly emphasized when he creates sculptural pieces, whether large-scale works like the gigantic giraffes from his self-produced collection "She’s in Love but She Doesn’t Know It Yet," or smaller items such as the famous Monkey Lamp and Mouse Lamp made for Seletti.
