Simone Centonze

Nature and biomimicry drive my design process, influencing everything from form to mechanics — a search I explore daily through sport. Raised in the Biellese Alps, I am deeply connected to the mountains and sea. I practice water sports, trekking, and climbing, with freediving and climbing best reflecting my mindset. Navigating these distinct worlds requires discipline and precision, much like the rigour and curiosity I apply to design. I am particularly focused on materials research, prototyping, mechanical problem-solving, and innovative concept development.
