Five unembellished furniture designs by Saltzman Prize-winner Marco Campardo
London's Design Museum has crowned Marco Campardo the winner of its annual Ralph Saltzman Prize for emerging designers. Here, the Italian designer walks us through five of his key projects and explains why he is "not a very decorative guy".
Campardo, who started his career as a graphic designer in Venice, set up his own studio in Peckham in 2019 with a focus on material experimentation and "hacking" industrial processes to create unexpected outcomes.
"Marco caught my eye because of his fresh take on design," said Edward Barber of Barber Osgerby, who nominated Campardo for the prize. "He is not constrained by the past and is creating new, thought-provoking designs using interesting and experimental materials." Marco Campardo is the winner of the 2023 Ralph Saltzman Prize
Campardo follows in the footsteps of Nottingham furniture designer Mac Collins as the second winner of the annual Ralph Saltzman Prize, which was founded by the Design Museum and the foundation of late American textile designer Ralph Saltzman to provide a platform and funding for up-and-coming product designers.
With this aim, the designer will receive a £5,000 bursary and a dedicated solo show at the museum, which is set to open on 2 February and will feature key projects illustrating his process-driven approach.
