Aldo Cibic was born in Schio, in the province of Vicenza, in 1955. In 1981, as a partner at Sottsass Associati, he was among the first protagonists of the Memphis movement. Among his numerous projects as a visionary designer and architect, “Microrealities” (2004) and “Rethinking Happiness” (2010) were presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale. With the Cibicworkshop, a multidisciplinary research center, he dedicates himself to the development of alternative and sustainable design typologies for architecture, interiors, and design, aimed at enhancing the local area and defining a new cultural, emotional, and environmental awareness.
