Futures

Mario Gagliardi founded his design practice in 2011 in Vienna, Austria. At the heart of his work lies a profound belief: design is the essential language connecting people to objects, services, and deeper values. His vision extends far beyond mere aesthetics or functionality; it's about crafting experiences and embedding narratives. His approach seeks to imbue every project with functionality, interactivity, and even a touch of playfulness, referencing a rich universe of historical and symbolic meaning.

Identities

Our aim is consistent: to forge an emotional resonance and meaningful dialogue between a creation and its user.

Resonances

Within our clean lines and contemporary palette, older resonances stir. Our designs carry the faint echo of myth, embedding archetypal whispers into the fabric of the now.

Imagine hues so deep they seem to absorb sound, creating saturated silence within a space. These aren't mere surface applications but pigments drawn from the earth's memory—the layered intensity of ancient sediment, the profound darkness of a forest floor at twilight, the jewel tones found captive in subterranean geodes. Light doesn't just reflect; it interacts, sometimes swallowed whole by velvet depths, sometimes glancing off polished crystals.

Future Systems

Design must interrogate the 'why' behind the 'what,' ensuring that emerging technologies serve not just efficiency but also meaning, connection, and contemplative depth.

Innovation

As technology propels us towards increasingly intangible realities, aesthetics become vital anchors. This isn't about superficial beauty, but about embedding humanistic values—empathy, context, sensory richness—into the very fabric of future systems. Design must interrogate the 'why' behind the 'what,' ensuring that emerging technologies serve not just efficiency but also meaning, connection, and contemplative depth.
