Andrea Quaglio and Manuela Simonelli, an Italian design duo, are the minds behind some of Lexon’s most iconic products. Their creative journey is driven by the philosophy of “never seeing things as they are”, which allows them to transform everyday objects into unique pieces blending poetic aesthetics with technology.

Their collaboration with Lexon has given rise to flagship products like the Mino+ speaker and Mina lamp. The distinctiveness of their approach lies in their ability to reimagine ordinary objects, adding an unexpected, artistic dimension.

Their work is marked by a quest for technological innovation coupled with artistic sensitivity. This is evident in creations like Oblio, which merges functionality with a minimalist design, and the Steli collection, sync-enabled lamps that create an immersive lighting experience.

Among Lexon’s award-winning products developed alongside them are Mino X, Mina M, Minut, Oblio, Tamo, Romino, and Mano. These items showcase their talent for marrying technology and creativity while enhancing the user experience.

In addition to their contributions to industrial design, their portfolio extends to fields like furniture, decor, and technology. Their work explores the relationship between user and object, integrating elements that evoke emotion and spark imagination.
