CARA \ DAVIDE is a Milan-based design studio founded by Cara Judd and Davide Gramatica in 2016. They take a multi-disciplinary approach to design, with a focus on ongoing research into materials, techniques and processes and draw much of their inspiration from their cross-cultural background. After graduating in product design from IED Milan, Cara and Davide started their professional careers in diverse areas before merging their experience.
Both designers now lecture at the Product Design Department at IED Milan alongside running their studio. Their work is displayed at numerous galleries across Europe and the United States. They create personal works and limited editions through close collaborations with expert artisans in Italy and South Africa.
"It is difficult to give a single and fulfilling opinion or definition of Scandinavian design. To us, it's not simply a style but rather a movement; a cultural phenomenon that has been succeeded, challenged and evolved by many interpreters, often very different from one another yet all representing the different facets of the single body of work that is Scandinavian design." - CARA \ DAVIDE
