The celebrated London-based Italian artist and designer Martino Gamper is best known for his project 100 Chairs in 100 Days. Starting as an apprentice with a furniture maker in Merano, Gamper studied sculpture under Michelangelo Pistoletto at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He completed a master’s degree in 2000 from the Royal College of Art in London, where he studied under Ron Arad.

Working across design and art venues, Gamper engages in a variety of projects from exhibition design, interior design, one-off commissions, and the design of mass-produced products for the cutting edge of the international furniture industry.
